Topic: Transistor Ignition for SOHC4 donation

[HondaMan]

Hi, all!
I have a refurbished Transistor Ignition that broke and I repaired, will send it to the first one who will donate $50 to this forum (US only, please). Like all of them, it has a Lifetime Warranty, in case you find a way to kill it [again?].
Please post back here after your donation, and when you donate pick the "Yes, show everyone I donated" button so your name shows up on the list of donors.

Thanks for supporting us all!

Wow, i'm on it. Where do I donate?

Found it! This makes me feel better about blowing it on a set of denoon modified carbs on eBay yesterday.

Good idea Mark!
 I already have your very well working igntion module on both my CB750's so I donate anyway.  $30 which I need to do more often.
Did it via Tapatalk so I guess its visible somewhere on my real name and email.

Enjoy, RP, ride safe!
SharpDevs sent me those stickers I have been putting on them lately.

How to make this ignition defective?
I guess: Mount it where water can splash on it, follow leads,   penetrate inside and corrode, shorting the PCB?

Ah, ha! You remember that guy!
That poor rider...he rode all the way across the USA from the East Coast to Colorado in the rain, almost every day. He had mounted the box so the wire entry was pointing upward and the rain would trickle along the Black wire from under the tank and slowly drip in thru the rubber vent. By about 2 PM each day it would submerge the [lower] half of the circuit board and short out the 2-3 side of the box. He then unplugged the wires and plugged the points back in and rode on: during each night the heat from the engine was boiling off enough water inside that the box worked again the next day. He kept hooking it back up because the bike ran better until it did this, for (I think) 3 days in a row (now, THAT is tenacity!). By the time he got here he decided to open the box to see what was up: he poured out about 2 ounces of water! I gave him a new one and I have his old one on my bench to remind me  about it. After it dried back out, it works fine! It has a high-water mark inside, almost 1.25" deep from the back end of the box.

OK, that's strong, most electronics should throw in much earlier
Both my units sits very dry, no chance that water can follow any lead into the unit.
I put it in my tool compartment on my K2. It need no tools

It is the power wire from front that has extra protection in black from the coils where it get 12V. One extra ear on the Dyna coil power connection.

My K6 has smaller battery lower 11Ah to get it on top of it under the rubber strap. It is a sealed battery and hopefullly no bad vapor. The ign module has some extra insulation strapped around it, vulc tape.
This has 12V just behind the corner since it has a relay under left cover for ignition.

My K2 has no relays at all (NOS ign switch). My K6 has 5 (cheap aftermarket switch)
Both has LED H4 to make life easier for the electrical connectors eating less amps.

 Hey Hondaman-- Those stickers are great! I need one of those for Dash.  I want to put it on his fairing!

PM me your mailing address. I only have a few left! I don't know where he had them made or I would make some more.

That's a unique mount! Usually they go in under the rear of the battery tray, resting against the rear plastic fender, tie-wrapped to the back of the battery tray. I have seen some under the battery box (like mine is) on the 750, and some in the tail trunk of the F0/1 bikes.

I had to be sure to give the ign module a dry and cozy placement

Tsk Tsk.  No option for water cooling.  Meh...
