Yes its my first year, never thought of myself as a namby pamby type and would rather be under canvas than a garage.

And how do you know my leathers are pink?

I will hopefully be able to talk to you all at Brands to find a solution or whether to stick with the original type components or more modern versions.
I'll be in the converted ambulance with a fluorescent yellow bonnet, so feel free to drop by for a coffee/beer.
Thanks again


Yep no problem with letting you have a copy, it has a tiny file size so easy to email

Pete Pritchard has a Ignitech on his Class B bike, which is Paul Nelson's old bike and has been running trouble free for some years now, I suspect he'll be at Brands as it's his closest track

Well you've picked a brill place to start, just keep your doors locked if Blomfield is lurking nearby.

I'm selling what you already have fitted however I did a back to back with the Ignitec on the dyno vs. the original set up and it made no difference power wise so you would be paying for reliability.
The reason I still have a spare set is after 3 years of racing in class B I never had either the coil or igniter box fail so you could argue these are as reliable. Always thought it would be handy to have a spare set I could swap over in one go, these got Mark H out of trouble at Brands in 5 minutes.

Mark must have had reliability issues, probably something that didn't plague Tom when he owned the bike

It is swings and roundabouts plus luck of the draw

There are always a few Options

Run without spares and hope for the best
Buy a spare set up cost circa £100 and be covered
Buy Ignitech, possibly sell original igniters to get some of the outlay back

Thanks for the offer of spares, but since making the post I have made the plunge and brought an Ignitech as a back up which arrived today, this will give me a back up for Brands.
