Installing Electronic Ignition
 
Hi All

I just installed the Pertronix 1146a electronic ignition on my Atomic 4 and used the opportunity to film the step by step.

Hopefully that helps someone down the line...


Cheers
Chris

Thanks! I do notice a difference in the way she runs.

Buddy next to me did it today, and had no issues putting the collar down; so that seems to be a bit random.

Good Luck

Been sitting on the fence, but just ordered the kit.

Sometimes, if the magnetic collar is too high up on the shaft it impedes the rotor's key from locking into the shaft and it spins freely.

The other issue is (if you broke off the tabs to allow the collar to slide down the shaft a bit) you can get the collar too far down on the shaft and it won't line up with the trigger device on the 1146a.

I've been happy with my EI once I worked out the bugs. Just things to think about if you are having trouble. :)

I think we could use a section where all helpful videos are linked :D

Done! Thanks for the idea, Greg.
