Re: IGN Module
More construction. Due to diferent pulse polarity betwean Villiers & Wipac coils they are wired differently. Using the colour of the wires in the assembled picture. The Wipac is wired Black to ground & Red to the coil. Villiers is Black to coil & Red to ground.
Re: IGN Module
After more testing found this transistor will shutdown then will restart. The problem appears to the large HV spike across the transistor. The solution appears to be fit a 1.5KE200A (1N6303A) Transorb . This seems to fix the problem, have run the module for over 1 hour on a warm day cutting grass with an old 2 stroke Victa lawn mower. Im pretty sure this has made the module reliable. It gives a nice fat blue spark at quite low RPM for starting. Checked the timing & its about 2 degrees earlier than the original points.
Re: IGN Module
I salute your electronics knowledge and skills ... I have none.
I purchased a Nova II ignition module for $10.00 on Ebay here in the states.
I had a Wipac in which the condenser was non functional. The ignition module solved the problem.
Here is a video of a similar installation. Move ahead to 55 seconds to see the module.

Re: IGN Module
Interesting that none of the pictures in this thread are viewable any more. The pictures of the module & modified circuit, are on photo bucket debe5.
