Boyer Bransden Induction Discharge unit
« on: October 07, 2019, 12:57:51 pm »
Has anyone used one of these on  Nuovo Falcone ignition?  It is a small device, about the size of a cigarette packet which is designed to replace the condenser.  They improve the ignition and life of the points. The ID unit has an LED on it which tells you when the points open & close, so timing is easier to set up as well.

I fitted one several years ago to a BSA Bantam D10 with side points.  It actually ran quite well.

hello rob electronic ignitions are very effective I myself equipped my aermacchi tv 71 of a power system dynamo 12v I am very satisfied (the original 6v dynamo had burned) but the ignition traditional switch cheap works so well and also fits the simplicity of the falcone very well ?

I wouldn't see much point Rob; my NF has the same points it came out of the factory with, and I've had to set them maybe 4 times in 12 years and clean them once. Original condenser too. The weak points of the ignition system are the coil (I'm on my 3rd) and the auto advance unit, so if you're not dispensing with them, I wouldn't see much advantage. I have a shoebox full of electronic ignition from Paul Friday, that in theory should dispense with the points and create its own advance curve, but it will be very difficult to work out how to install it.
