Yep, lookin good. I just do them on pre drilled prototype board with the copper foil strips running vertically, it all lines up pretty well, then I just dremel off the un needed tracks. Well done. Cheers

Now that Dracothered has sorted so timing can b advanced we need 2 know its not 2 far advanced. Ur plug is a good indicator. The sides of the center electrode should have an all over even covering of tan oxide. If the very end 1/2 mm or so shows a band of bare metal the timing is a bit 2 far advanced & the heat generated from this has burnt the oxide off. Advancing the timing can make good power but u dont wanna hole a piston. If u've ever got the motor apart, look at the underside of the piston crown. If its black from burnt oil ur running 2 hot. Cheers

I'm not 100% sure which jumpers do what, so if you could clear that up I will up date the drawing so everyone knows what ones do what.

ok, test 2 set overall timing under low RPM load (acceleration). The most advanced would b to select the 27ohm pulldown, no other jumpers tho it may b 2 far advanced. U could bridge the 100 ohm 4 next most advanced but bridging the 390/100 unbridged is the most advanced I've used. Add either the 120 ohm or 220 ohm will retard it by about 3 or 6 degrees. Outta phone screen, nother post

Now we get 2 Jag spec. Select 16 ohm pulldown. 4 a bit more advance leave the 100 & 390 unbridged, tho 100 bridged/390 unbridged is stock Jag spec. Again, add either 120 or 220 ohm will retard roughly 3 or 6 degrees. If u add both it will retard a bit more. I imagine that between all settings there will b some overlap. 1 more post. Cheers

Ok wotever setting gives best low RPM performance is the right 1. Both 0.47uf caps could b on jumpers if u want tho 1 is good enough. Adding steepens the Hi RPM retard curve. Test 4 position @ WOT windout 4 best speed. Start without jumpers then add 1 @ a time if u use 2 jumpers. Highest speed setting is the right 1, button it up. Thanks heaps Dracothered, u've been invalueable. Cheers

Hi, the way I said 2 add the 120 & 220 ohm jumpers is back 2 front. Add the 220 will retard a little, the 120 about twice as much, the both 4 twice as much again. 4 people in Oz wanting 2 build, components r instore or online thru JAYCAR. Polypropylene charge caps r catalogue No. RG-5240, $2-50 each. Timing caps r catalogue No. RZ-6640, $0-65 for the 4.7uf & RZ-6626, $0-60 for the 0.47uf. The 1/2 watt 1% metal film resistors r there for a few cents each,, as is the prototype board @ about 4 bucks. Cheers

Hey Dracothered, I hate 2 do this 2 u, u've done such a good job & I shoulda picked it up b4 (my bad eyes & small screen phone dont help)' but move the end of the 33 ohm resistor closest 2 the kathode of the SCR to the junction of the 1K resistor & the 390 ohm resistor. Sorry mate, u really have done a great job. Cheers

No problem all fixed, see the above circuit drawing...

U have 2 build urself, its only a few bucks in components, plus an external coil which u can get for around 25 bucks for a good 1. I'll put a new 1 together as developed by Dracothered next week when the electronics store is open & try to get pics of both sides of posted (I'll have 2 get some1 to do 4 me as its above my capability) so people can c the layout. Its pretty simple really. Cheers

Ok, kool stuff! I don't know anything about electronics but got a fellow rider that does. A parts list would very help full. I have any electronics surplus store 3 blocks from my house . I have a jaguar cdi I bought 3 months ago and I'm very pleased with the performance of it. I have almost no vibration at 7500rpm.s . My other bike run great but it will Reallllllyyyyyy fly smooth with a shall we say a clone CDI on it! Thanks for your excellent research and work.

Well done Dracothered. This really is a big + for everyone as the CDI does make the motor run much smoother right thru the rev range with a hotter spark (depending on coil used, CR80 coil gives hottest), while developing better low RPM power & allowing it to rev much higher. U dont need electronics knowledge to put it together, & if u run into any problems dont hesitate to ask questions. Cheers

I do hope that someone that has a bike could build one of these and test it out as I right now don't have a bike to use it on. I would be willing to build one for someone, but I can't do it for free and really we need a test bed one first before a final build one can be built.

Hi Dracothered, I have 1 of each type 4 my bike & have built a couple 4 other people. I had planned on putting 1 of the 1's as u've developed during the last week but havent had time to get to the local electronics outlet. I'll get there in the morning & grsb a bit of prototype board, SCR & the caps & put 1 together. I've got plenty of 1/2 watt metal film resistors. Hopefully I'll have enough time over the weekend. Cheers

Hi all,

Im trying to find a SCR C106D that is 600v 8A.

But im finding it hard.

Would a C106M1 or a C122E do?

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZX7012

http://www.jaycar.com.au/products_uploaded/C106-D.pdf

an SCR C106D but 4A and 400v
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZX7006

any help would be great. im still in the 'finding all the parts' stage
This one would be a better choice or one similar.

Also used with this type of heat sink.
