ignition control for tzr250 3ma

Post by bigworm »

hi all
need a little help on what i need for ignition control for the above engine

got my head around the fuel injection part just need help with this

i know there is no toothed wheel on it and there is a timming node of some sort on the outside of the flywheel

wanted to know what set up would be best for firing the coil(twin leads of it)
ps would a farad capacitor act like a second battery as i want to run with an o2 looped
best regards
matt

ok no replys

from what i can gather my engine uses a cdi coil

and a vr pickup

from what ive read there are problems with noise using this set up

my understanding thus far is i need to use a high farad capacitor to clean the signal would i then be ok to use the cdi
or would switching to tci and opto-in be a better option

slowly getting my head around this any pointers will be appreciated
as my head is full of two stroke fueling probs

cheers in advance

You should be able to run a VR sensor and cdi ignition - many people do. The farad apacitor will be a big help for this in damping the sudden current draw from the cdi; the other thing to do is to use twisted pair shielded VR sensor wires and keep them away from the high voltage wires.
