I have a new ignition system based on Jerry Howell's TIM-6 model, and it failed quickly after initial testing. I suspect the Hall Sensor or the Transister is at fault. I have tested the Transister, and would like to now test the Hall. Does anyone know a simple multimeter test for these components to check it?Mosey
Since I am about to go down this path as well, using the S/S engineering ignition systems, coil included, I have a couple of questions.First of all, how do you determine which of the poles on the magnet is the south pole? I've read that the earth's north pole is actually a south magnetic pole which is why it attracts the north pole of a compass. So, does that mean that I would use the magnet's pole which is attracted to the north pole of a compass?Also, what are the precautions I need to take to not burn out the hall effect sensor when I first test it and/or install it?Chuck
