Title: '86 Ingniter testing?
Post by KLM on 11/01/25 at 23:02:43

Pretty sure I fried my igniter. Before I tear it apart to look at the innards, is there a way to test it? Tried search and poking around the forums to no avail. I did find the links to IgniTech so if it is fried at least I have that option as opposed to paying near $400 for a used ebay piece.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,
By all means, get an Ignitec. It will come to you pre-configured as a drop in replacement and if you want to, you can later program your own retard curve, Edit: should be: Advance curve) set a rev-limit Edit: And you can make the hard limit soft by retarding the ignition just below the rev limit and a lot of other finesse features, like take input from throttle position to influence retard curve.
With an Ignitec ignition module in your bike, there is no going back.

I was lucky to revive my ignitor, by exchanging the diodes, but it never produced a good idle, and without a schematic I plain gave up on the ignitor.

I have no association with Ignitech, other than being a very satisfied customer.

Cheers, Finn Hammer
