Keep it simple- engine, wheels, bars
Since the Honda CB360 is 180deg twin I am assuming the ignition reads a pulse every 180degrees or twice per rotation.
I hope so, because I just modified a GL Dyna to work on a CB360, LOL. Seriously though- yes, it does unless you set it up for wasted spark.redwillissuperman said:Since the Honda CB360 is 180deg twin I am assuming the ignition reads a pulse every 180degrees or twice per rotation.
2 pickups set at 90°, correct? That's what I thought we are talking about.frogman said:The stock ignition works on a 1/4 scale rotation from the the crankshaft, the ignition cam "reads" at 360 degrees for the left and again at 540 degrees for the left, then goes another 540 before the left starts again.
They fire ONCE per 4 cycles of each independent cylinder, no wasted spark as they do not share the same points like is found in 360 degree engines.
The will need 2 electronic pickups if using e-ignition, if you use one you will have to trigger it twice and the first hit will likely be in the intake stroke on the second cylinder if used as a wasted spark system. May or may not set that one off as well.
I have a Charlie's Place and the blue all electronic advance "Pamco". Charlie's retains the mechanical advancer.frogman said:Yeah 90 degrees apart on the cam, thing I was talking about is that a 180 is not a wasted spark system.
Lots of guys run the Pamco, seems to have a varied rate of success, larger motors seem to do better, something about the 350s and 360s seems to eat them occasionally. I've tossed the idea around in my head for 3 years about getting one and feels like as soon as I make up my mind to get one another person posts about issues with them. There's a really LARGE thread on Honda Twins about them.
There are at least 3 kits now out for E-ignition, Pamco, Charles Place and Tytronic, which that last one is supposed to be a knock off of the Charles Place one, which is supposed to be a knock off of Dyna.
