Re: How do Atom Computer Ignition modules work?

[debe]

The reason the transistor is running hot is using a Sine wave to drive the circuit ( You will destroy an automotive electronic module using a sine wave to drive it. Have done that.) An ignition circuit is a short pulse. Its beter to do what Ken has done to test the module. You could use pretty mutch any small engine that uses points to test it. I use an old Seagull out board motor with out the barrel & piston to test modules. Its just clamped in a vice on the work bench. In debe5 photobucket thers 2 short videos of module testing using a Seagull Wipac & a Villiers ignition system as a test unit.
