Re: VR from solid state lawn mower coil

Cam sensor would solve the problem. Now you can get one injection pulse every 720 degrees crank tied to the intake stroke. This is the same problem the guy had on this thread

3.5hp Briggs and Stratton

Mr old guy is there a conversion to tag on to the camshaft with a sensor of some kind of a one ...

Re: VR from solid state lawn mower coil

Does your application require you to control the ignition with the MS. If it doesn't I would just use the stock ignition module and either use a hall sensor on the flywheel or an inductive pickup off the plug wire to get your tach signal for MS.

Yes - H2 burns up to 10 times faster that gasoline ...

Re: VR from solid state lawn mower coil

Thanks old guy you are probably right. I’m not to savey on hall effect switches is there a model that might work? I’ll do more searching on this. One other option is to use a magnetic reed switch and see if I only get one point break per rev and not 2 because of the 2 magnetic poles.
