trialsrfun Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Is it better to have a plug cap with 5 ohm resistance or one without, bike is a Cub with PVL ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yea, well what did you take off? A few systems seem to prefer a resistor due to the electrics, but for the most, this is for RF noise suppression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsrfun Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 When I built the bike the system came without a plug cap so I used a NGK hard plastic type without a resistor but I was now thinking of fitting a rubber type bit more P65ish so wondered if my earlier choice or no resistor was correct.

cvgmmartin Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Contact Rex Caunt Racing, they sell PVL systems and are very helpful. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Resistors do 2 things One is RF interference and the other is to produce a spark that is shorter in duration and more intense Resistors are good things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelling123 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Normal to use a resistor type plug cap with a CDI ignition - you should use one on your PVL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bultaco49 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Don't combine a resistor cap with internal resistor plugs. This doubles the resistance and may give problems especially with starting. Plugs with resistors usually have a prominent 'R' in the manufacturers code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
