Ignition module
Tonyr:
Hello,
A couple of months ago on Vixens, seal engine post I mentioned I was planning to use the rcexl ignition on my Austin engine. Roger B posted regarding the advance curve in the rcexl ignition.
The curve says the is maximum advance 24 degrees below 400 rpm.
I wasn’t aware of this and thought it could lead to problems.
I was idly looking on the Internet and came across this module on eBay.
See photo, my Chinese isn’t very good.
I emailed the guy and he was very helpful and quick to get back to me.
He said that there is no advance curve in the ignition.
I thought I would give it a try.
It came in less than 2 weeks.
I have rigged it up to a battery in it seems work ok.
At £21 for the complete system or £18 without the hall transistor and power plug, it is worth a look.

Hello Tony
Can you please give a link or the full description for the ignition module. As you say, it looks interesting.

Hello Tony
The photo image is not too clear on my PC. Does the label say 15KV at 6 volts and 20 kv at 10 volts?
That would be useful as it's always a good idea to keep the HT as low as possible to prevent arc over and other problems.

Hello Mike,
Yes it says, In 6 to 10 volts.
Out 15KV to 20 KV
I don’t know if that is relative to the input, I suppose it depends on cylinder pressure and spark gap.
The eBay description is 6 - 10 volt CDI igniter coil.
There is very little info regarding its operation.
I have had it making a spark across a spark plug.
The guy replied to my emails quickly, maybe ask.
I can post a different picture if it helps, I reduced it size to keep the Size down.

Hello Tony
Thanks, I found it on e-bay along, with lots more interesting engines and things.
On the side of the ignition module it also say 0-12,000 r/min which would be a rev limit of 3,000 RPM for a four cylinder engine. That may (or may not) be 6,000 RPM on a four stroke engine.
Will that be enough for your little Austin engine?
Mike
