Ignition systems

[imdying]

Can someone point me towards some literature on ignition systems on these bikes? Theory or practical, either is fine.

It appears as if it's a flat (i.e. no) advance curve? Any rules regarding vac/centrifugal type advance curves?

I understand there is a rudimentary "advance" curve caused by some interaction between the coil and the flywheel. I read something about it years ago.

But if you want to hack, start here ;

Not a lot to what, ignition systems on minimotos, or what the rules will allow?

The ign is flat your bang on there. There used to be a rule about "no ignition curves allowed" for open class but only two or three people knew what it actualy ment so I don't think it was put into this years rule book. I have never come across an advance/retard set up on one of these little engines yet but I would imangin it would make a huge difference to your power band and clutch wear.
