Title: New ignition system
Post by: cubfan1968 on November 12, 2004, 07:26:19 PM
I would like to install a new ignition system on my 125 6 day. What does the menbership recommend as the best alternative to the motoplat. Ease of installation is a factor here.

Rod i would go with the new MZ-B ignition. I know its been used by the Herc Group in Germany for 2 years now and has held up well.
Here is a short cut to the 2 ignitions now offered as replacements for the motoplats.

Ditto on the MZ-B, I installed one on my "72" Jackpiner that I ran at Tulsa and it worked fantastic.  Always started on 1 full kick, the lighting was bright and consistent , the power was perfect.  Installation was so simple I couldn't believe it.  Excellent replacement for the moto"splat";)
