Model 7, 1953, from Magneto to Electronic ignition

Forums

Folks,
my dommie has dynamo 6v and Magneto with auto-advance.
I bought the kit to transform my Dommie on electric ignition, composed by:

  • Lucas K2F magneto housing
  • Electronic ignition
  • and Coil (double)

The instructions cover only Wassel/VAPE kit and too generic for me.
Anyone has experience to drive me in the steps needed?
The auto-advance needs to be removed/replaced I suppose, if yes, witch gear replacement is needed?

/Giovanni

You will need a manual magneto drive SPROCKET. Is this electronic/coil ignition kit self powered (like BTH replacement) or does it rely on the battery and at 6V?

With magneto ignition you only use the dynamo to recharge the battery for lights. With coil ignition you are using the dynamo/battery all the time, there is little left over for using lights. So you must keep your dynamo and charging in good order, and have as large a battery as you can get in the box. You would also be recommended to fit LED lights.
