Default Re: Spark Question

I had the same type plates as those in the pictures, also had issues. One issue was an occasionally miss under low RPM/high load, Ex: going up a hill from a stop. Had other strange issues at random.



The original design has a wire to make connection from the bottom plate to the top plate, instead of the brass colored shoe/plate making the connection. The wireless plates were developed to replace the wire since the wire after a long time and a lot of flexing becomes brittle and can break. However the wireless connection moves every time you change the Retard Lever and also is purely pressure/mechanical in nature and can be a poor connection for the low primary coil points current/voltage.


For trouble shooting or if being frugal, add a wire between the 2 plates across where the wireless connection is.



Some have had issues, others have had no issues.
