solution for problems with electronics on motorized bicycles

I have noticed that alot of people have problems with signal interferance when they mount electronics on their mb"s. Here is a solution that should end these problems. All engines create an electromagnetic field when they are running, this field will interfere with any electronics withen range of this field. The solution is quite simple, Shield the ignition. This can be accomplished by the purchase of shielded plug wire and cap, and isolating the cdi from the frame with a small piece of lead sheeting between the cdi and the frame. This solution has worked for me with a number of small engine vehicles that I have run throughout the years, I even have a paramotor that would interfere with every device placed near it when running. gps, radios, even the ipod. Once shielded all electronics now function properly and it only cost a few dollars for each vehicles refit. The only other solution is to shop around till you find electronics that are not affected by your engines particular frequency,then as soon as you change magneto or cdi you may be hunting for new electronics again as the em field will change as soon as the components change. I hope this is a help to some of you out there. Keep the rubber side down and the hair in the air, and please always remember to ride safe and sane,

Re: solution for problems with electronics on mbs

Most hobby stores should have it in small sizes quite large enough to handle the job. If not a scrap metal yard or hardware stores. Comes in various sizes and thicknesses but it need only be thick enough to isolate the cdi from the frame. Yet if you dont use shielded plug wire and cap would probably be a wasted effort.
