Has anyone fitted a Sachse electronic ignition to their Nuovo |
|
Falcone? |

I fitted one to a '68 Honda CL350 with good results. |

Yes, I run one on my Compressore.It doesn't come cheap, but it's |
|
top quality. Easy to install, and maintenance free.Only thing is |
|
: it needs a good main switch. Like all electronic ignitions, it |
|
is sensitive for a constant supply of power. |

Thanks. I know lot of folks prefer to stick with original |
|
mechanical advance points on vintage bikes, but with several |
|
needy old bikes, the maintenance free aspect of an electronic |
|
ignition is very appealing. |
|
I could see installing a small relay to power the electronic |
|
ignition so as to not run the risk of a voltage drop across 40+ |
|
year old switches and connectors. |

I have to say that I haven't touched my points for the past |
|
10,000 km. Wear isn't an issue on the NF, although i could see |
|
electronic ignition being attractive if you do high mileage, or |
|
have a highly tuned engine... |
|
A local friend built an Indian Scout, and fitted electronic |
|
ignition; it failed, and he fitted the points back on at the |
|
side of the road, and they are still there. |
|
Sometimes improvements are not an improvement... |

I want to put one on my nuovo falcone but I realised that none |
|
of the timing curves are a match to the original one that start |
|
at 10� and finish at 44�. Instead they start between 2� and 8� |
|
to finish at 34�, is that an issue ? |

That can not be, here the 3 curves of the Sachse ignition ZDG |
|
3.1, |
|
the black line is the original, number 3 is almost the same: |

Sachse has another ignition, with 9 curves; of which 2 are |
|
special for twin sparc ignition.This is the one I installed on |
|
my Compressore. |

I finally got around to installing the Sachse electronic |
|
ignition I bought for my NF more than a year ago. I've put |
|
>1000 miles on the bike since, and it's running quite well - - - |
|
better than it was with my somewhat sloppy advance mechanism. |
|
Installation was very simple, and checking static timing is very |
|
easy as the Sachse pickup plate has a built-in LED that turns |
|
off when the piston reaches TDC. I bought the lower cost unit |
|
that only has 3 advance curves. The more expensive unit with |
|
additional advance curves and a rev limiter might be more |
|
interesting to the hot rod guys. |
|
I'll keep the mechanical advance on the bike as a backup as I've |
|
set up the wiring so I can convert back to stock in about 20 |
|
minutes. |
|
Given the high cost and limited availability of stock advance |
|
mechanism, the Sachse system seems like a reasonable |
|
alternative. |

Thanks for the update PG; as you say, if you have a compromised |
|
original system, it does make more sense |
