Fitting Electronic Ignition to 6v Bikes

Forums

A note of caution.....
Up to now, fitting Electronic Ignition was relatively simple.
1) Upgrade your system to 12volts. (You kept your alternator & 6v coils - if working).
2) Changed battery, bulbs & horn.
3) Added a 12v Regulator/Rectifier in place of the Rectifier.
4) Purchase your kit from Al Oz and our electrical Guru can then assist you on the wiring mods you need to make.
5) Follow the instructions on fitting the Ignition System.....
Result = happiness and a Big Grin.

However, I have just had a query from an NOC member - who bought a 6V Pazon Ignition, with a double output coil from NOC Spares, with no instructions on setting it up.
Seems he has also replaced his wiring harness with a new one at the same time.

This immediately creates a problem as most (all?) new Wiring Harnesses for Lightweight DO NOT have a resistance wire included - which is essential for stopping your battery being overcharged, while you are running around with no lights on.
Worse still, I have come across a new Harness which had its wires crossed - literally - in the plug socket up to one of the switches. I was never able to discover the maker - it was an eBay purchase by a NOC member - so do not know if it was a 1-off error, or are there more of them out there.

I am going to check the Wiring Harness for our 6v Pazon NOC owner - otherwise he may have problems.
Watch this space.......
