... leading to long spark duration. (which is a good thing.)
Still unproven.
Only to you. Many people understand that the in-line resistance behaves like a valve to slow the energy flow from the coil as a reservoir of stored energy.
...And you still have not dis-proven it, either (which you can't). Only offered vague personal opinion based on prejudice.
Why don't the two of you, TT and Hondaman, combine efforts and show us ignorants once and for all that 'longer' duration and the beneficial effect it has on output and where in the rpm range this advantage occurs. Hondaman has shown us to have access to an oscilloscope. May I suggest that you guys conduct the test thus that it can be repeated elsewhere on the planet to verify/falsify the findings which has been, as you know, a requirement in science since Karl Popper. As I've stated many times: I'm open for all results. I'm just sick and tired of these vague claims that none of us here are able to either verify or falsify.
And, I'm sick and tired of your luddite claims based on ignorance, that it isn't, in fact, true. You have no right to manage my time and where it is spent. If you wish to wallow in your own ignorance, continue to do so, as I'm sure you will. I seriously doubt you would believe any verification I would provide. I have an oscilloscope. But, it's not a storage type and I can't trigger a camera with it. I would only be able to relate a typed description of what I see. But, you would never accept that. Because it's not about facts. You are NOT open to those, unless you dictate the terms of "acceptable" facts. Perhaps, if you send me a suitable storage scope, to produce some proof acceptable to you, (putting some skin in the game yourself,) maybe, just maybe you might "See" the effect that is inevitable, as I've seen it many times on the scope myself.
The R plugs are typically 5K ohms. Stock caps for the CB550 were 10K ohm on all my factory 550s.
Resistance varied for different markets as I've demonstrated more than once with documents. It probably had to do with local legislation on noise suppression.
What? Speculation? Blasphemy! Why should we believe that spurious interjection?
Why don't you PROVE that, instead of offering idle speculation, according to your own standards of proof? What supports your unproven theory?
My (worthless) recommendation remains the same. Stick to the 5kΩ noise suppression, in either a resistor cap or a plug and you'll be fine. Combining a resistor plug and a resistor plugcap involves the risk of making your ignition less reliable.
And what risk is that? What quantification do you provide in this matter? And, what is your proof that there is a risk of any type? What is the magnitude of that risk? Do investigate that for us so we may ALL be so enlightened. Isn't THAT only fair, too?
Those that state there's a significant benificial effect when you go higher in resistance, have a problem: they have to show it to us. Fair enough.
Only fair in your altered state of mind.
You have access to all the data and formulas that prove the spark duration extension. You are just too freakin lazy and vindictive to ferret it out with your own feeble mind. You would rather just #$%*, whine, and moan about it being too hard too for you to fathom. Far easier to simply deny it's existence.
