It might not be at all relevant but the Readspeed stator is the same and I have seen one absolutely fried.

I seem to think MBD had some problems developing a new electronic kit maybe this was the one we're on about here. I remember in Jet Set a few years ago it caused Mark to breakdown but atleast he didn't sell them then but went back to the drawing board.

I've tried the Variatronic, the Agusto but the next engine I build I'll be going back to a standard SIL one.

Talk about being ripped off!

This is why Mark is working on two new systems AC/DC and with fixed curve and fully adjustable curves as well.
LOL. what goes around comes around springs to mind

The single phase version has four coils.
Who supplies the single phase version?

To me it looks like a three phase system, with electronic ignition using a veriable reluctance pick up triggering a thyrister assisted electronic ignition, simmilar to what jap bikes use

35watt+ for ignition,

about 200 wats for lighting etc.,

a bit like my bike, seems the way to go

Jerome (readspeed) sells them (or did).
I had one, but after my RB went bang and i stripped my engine, i noticed the coating on the coils looked discoloured / burnt :? as it was only a few months i took it back and he swapped it for the 3 phase one (top bloke)

When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !
