Hi Guys - you may recall that Steve Kelly announced his new Tri-Spark 'Classic-Twin electronic ignition system for Norton,BSA and Triumph Twins. I fitted the system to my 920 Commando yesterday. The installation was very simple and it started first kick !!!. Running and idling are brilliant. I timed it to 28 BTDC and I may experiment with this at a later date but I'm tempted to leave well-alone. The 'anti-kickback' system is great - the bike always tended to kick-back if I was a bit 'half-hearted' when kickstarting but with the new system there is no sign of this behaviour.
I would recommend this kit to anybody.

Cheers,
 
Hey Mark do you know if this system can be used with a single fire Dyna coil? And if so what ohm is the best? I just got mine in the mail today and it has no info on this, Or if anyone else could help that would be great, Thanks, Chuck. I sent an e-mail asking but thought I would try here too.
 
Tri spark

Hi Chuck
Steve will get back to you about the coil. I asked him for modern alternative coils for my triple last year & he was already working on it.
all the best Chris
 
Thanks Chris, It looks like this unit is really well made, Can't wait to hook her up! Chuck.
 
coil resistance

Hi Chuck,

You can use 2 Lucas type 6 volt coils or one dual output coil. The primary resitance of the dual output coil should be between 3 and 5 Ohms.

I did an installation on a '73 madel last weekend and that worked fine using the stock coils. The istallation was easy and with minimal changes to the wiring. I wrote up an instruction sheet on what we did to go out with the noton kits.

cheers,

Steve

Steve,

So the Classic Twin is not a sequential firing type like your other systems then?
 
Thanks Steve, Unit looks great and I love the sturdy cover over the wires. Also glad to hear it will work with a 3 ohm single fire coil!!!! Thanks for the quick reply too, Have a great day guys, Chuck. :D

Mike, where in the USA are you getting the Pazon these days? Are they currently going for the price that you got it?

Mark, I may have missed it in an earlier post but what are you comparing with ? If your old system was points then I'd expect an improvement but if you already had electronic then I want a Tri-Spark too !

Get out there and cover some hard miles ! I hope that the assembly will prove to be robust sitting there but I slightly share the reservations which L.A.B. voiced a while ago. Bearing in mind how we used to go to great lengths to rubber mount RITA or Boyer boxes, it concerns me a little to think about what's going on down there behind the cover !

I got it from MAP cycles in florida - think it was $159 - got it about 3 months ago and am very happy with it - bike runs much better than it did with the boyer, which i replaced when it failed (only lasted 20 yrs!). Hopefully the pazon will last as long!
