Getting Going

[madinuk2]

Hello all,

I hope somebody can help, me and a friend are trying to get a tiger cub

running, but we need some help with the Magneto, is it possible to build

one or does it have to be bought off the shelf! if it needs to be bought

where from? how much? it's a 200cc model if that helps.

Thanks for any links etc.

Thanks for the reply,

I think we'll have a go with the points 300 quid is a bit too much at the moment,

had a look at the PVL site, looks like just the job.

anybody else got any ideas about getting a reliable spark with or without

battery!

thanks again.

The standard system points on side works well enough.

For the mushroom system I braze the advance retard mechanism so it does not move. I also use a very small amount of locktight when sliding the unit in place to take up any slack in the syatem.

The boyer bransden also works well on either version and costs around

Cheers Mattylad!

For pointing me in a cheaper direction, not familiar with the mushroom system!

what's that?

Boyer Bransden kits look good to me! are there any shops you know of

that sell them off the shelf?

We've got a Honda 125 carb fitted already, at least we can use that!

Thanks for your help.

The mushroom is the distributor which fits behind the cylinder and it looks like a ....mushroom.
