    See the ESE thread - KX80 stator and rotor, Ignitech ignition. Ebay for the stator/rotor, Ignitech for the Ignitech.
    Follow their lead and you can't go wrong!

    I think he was implying that a std one would do. Sounds like a good time to onsell your old kit around the ESE shed.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    other bits

    I just bought one on line but kx80 ( a 2000 model so hope thats ok ) not the flash one.

    now I need the left hand engine case, the one that covers the ignition side of the engine. Not a very technical description but you get the drift.

    They can be a bit hard to find as they crackup around the clutch release mechanisim, we have repaired one or two of ours that have cracked with a 1mm metal plate and lots of Araldite.

    When you get one make sure the outer cover and all the clutch release bits including the brass ferral that fits in the lever and around the clutch cable (as seen in the picture) come with it, if you can.

    It should be good, the crank keyway and original ignition timing marks all line up,(yellow line left hand pic). So its real easy to get started and the trigger fits easily into the case as well.

    From memory the only things required is to turn down the outside diameter of the stator plate about 1 or 2mm and turn out some of the inside so it fits over the main brg oil seal.

    The bad thing is:- Unlike the other KX80 ignition that uses the trangular stator and has a fixed firing point, your ignition has some inbuilt retard and its unlikely that the curve that suites the KX80 will be perfect for the GP.

    But the good thing is, it will run OK and later the ignition trigger can be used with an Ignitech programable and the HV coils re-wound to charge the Ignis battery.

    So all in all it looks a good start.

    I suspect you will be hearing from me when I have all my parts in a line.
