OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Points - Electronic Module Replacement?

Ok so here is a question somebody may be able to answer, I have fitted modules to these motors when they have no spark by just cutting the wire coming out of the crankcase to the kill switch. This works fine but now I have a situation where on my mates 24 which has good spark with points ignition he wants me to convert it to electronic ignition. My question is as the points and condenser are still working, if I just fit a module to the kill switch wire, what happens with the existing spark from the original points? If I don't have to remove the fan wheel to get to the points and cut the wire in there I would be happy to just leave them there

Yes you just want to disable the points so you need disconnect the points from ignition coil or you will have the two fighting other. If the points are left operational electrically can have some odd timing problems. Just aware that you may need an universal version where you change the trigger polarity in case of a positive ground system.

Here is the wiring and installation image of the one I use here.

Thanks AVB,
I figured that, as it is running well I will leave it alone and convert it over when the points give up
