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
 
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

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 !

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

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!
