Laghalt Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi all! So sick of my (yellow) Interspan that ive decided to replace it. After changeing batteries, have the bike running until the trigger/pickup died for good, I just want something that works. Easy, cheap, and with my (not) skills, effect really doesnt matter. So, what I think would be easiest is to put an ordinary external ignition coil to a 12v battery and a magnetp trigger. Theoretically it would work, or not? I cant be the only one in the world to have these problems, what solutions are there, if even any. ALL advice most most welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Eye Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 switch to selletra or pvl Unless it's a Magnum engine they won't fit. If it is a Max engine with electronic ignition then it might be possible to fit Boyer ignition. Most Goddens from the '80s though use points to trigger the box so space might be a problem.

Laghalt Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi all! Thanks for all replies. It's a Max engine. Honestly, looking at a brand new ignition, like Trackcraft rebuild would coat about as much as the bike itsef. Just building a battery ignition perhaps, but it seems impossible to find a magneto-pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laghalt Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Made the strangest solution that works out just fine:-) Bought a RC-aircraftmotor battery/magneto-ignition and it works just as fine as the horrible interspan:-) Total cost about 50£ plus a 12 volt mc battery. Recommended solution for sunday riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
