T500 contactless ignition

[kall399]

Hello

Does anyone have advice to the usability of these ignition kits that replace only the contact breakers with magnetic? sensors and keep the original coils and generator?

Was just lookin into the unit listed on Knalnaarpotz. Am thinking about using it on a T500 project this winter.

They made mention of “SPARCON”.
With a bit of web searching I found it:

Looks very similar to ignition systems sold for 4 stroke bikes. I would expect the Dutch ignition to be reliable.

The T500 has a pretty meager alternator. Before deciding on it, I’m interested in knowing the dwell angle.
The stock points ignition has a dwell angle of about 180 degrees. A much larger dwell angle will increase the ignition load on the alternator.

I just sent them an email asking about it. Will update you with their answer.

Sparcon answered my email. The dwell is 180 degrees. So alternator load should not be a problem.

Am going to order the ignition for a T500. Not much info about ordering & shipping on their website. Send them an email asking about ordering from, and shipping to, the USA.
