Re: Digiplex V Elektronik Saches

I found that the ignition timing wandered massively using the standard Guzzi distributor setup, I assume because there's a lot of backlash built in to the system. I changed to the Silent Hektik system (which I think is pretty analagous to the Sachse) as it has a generator-mounted pickup and found it...

Re: Clarissa - The 2 Door T3

Tony, that's brilliant. What a fantastic job, turned out even better than expected. Running the exhausts down via Brooklands cans - genius!

Re: T1 850 glowing pipe

Has he timed the ignition on the right side, then forgotten to time the left hand side individually? Easily done!

Re: Siamesed exhaust

I don't know how Tony/WEG gets his motor running so well without a balance pipe! I've found Guzzis to be a bit harsh and stumbly in the midrange and at idle without the balance pipe and have been unable to tune this out. And equally as bad with a Jota-style large diameter balance pipe. Clearly I don...

Re: Digiplex Ignition - Running on 1 cyl

Ducati bevels are the only 90deg V-twins which run anticlockwise that I can think of.

As I say, I don't know the system at all. Is it possible to flip the trigger wheel? Doing that would result in A2 being the wrong side of A, which would skew the datum.

Re: Digiplex Ignition - Running on 1 cyl

Just a thought, and I don't know the Digiplex unit at all, but are you sure the posts are actually for triggering? Could it actually work like: The first double-peg is the datum point. It gives two pulses as it passes the sensor and the ign. unit bases its positional calculations on this point (the ...

Re: Oil Catch Tank

That's a rather neat solution - pretty much exactly what I've been looking for (I currently just dump overboard).
