petronix ignition

Well guys I have installed the extended rotor just to see for myself what all the hype is, she does idle a bit better , but Ive seemed to have lost out on power to pull up hills at the normal rotor gave me. I took it for a drive over to the Northern Beaches today and there is some wicked hill to climb especially around Forestville, from Penrith to Dee Why is about a 3 hour round trip so she got a real good work out.

I'll give it a couple of weeks before I decide whether to keep or turf it, but first impressions "THUMBS DOWN"

Hottiemonster, those springs in the top of the rotor button are a rev limiter. Centrifugal forces push it outwards and it earths on the posts mounted on the plate below cap, killing off a cylinder each time it passes. It should only come in at about 6000rpm. I doubt many people have found that out.

yeah i know all that, but the limiter is at 5200, not 6000rpm

It doesn't rev that hard. On LPG it's about 3000rpm, but it's the system at fault. Not going to fix it as I'll change it all soon. Petrol goes to about 4000rpm but dies soon after. Not sure why yet.
