[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 39575, member: 597"] Hi there all, Just a comment on ignition systems......whilst a lot of you with many years of experience, have tried many magneto's and electronic /coil set ups. Has anyone actually tried a Joe Hunt magneto......?? From what I can see these are the same as a Lucas SR1 or equivalant. Now I know for sure that a SR1 mag is by far a better mag than a more common KV-F, K1-F Variant....and as everyone knows a magneto is always of preferance to any type of coil ignition due to the extra need for a battery ( this on a racer of course, not a road bike) I think all a Joe Hunt mag would need is a modified cam to change the timing for say a Truimphs 180 deg to a Vincents 205 deg...and yes you can get these mags to suit the pre unit Triumph with the triangular flange type mount. I also think that the Hunts output would be better than the modern BT-H units as well.....as for rev's....well I don't think that would be any prob with one of these rotating magnet type magneto's.....anyone out there with any thoughts on this.....as I would be very interested to know...cheers....Greg.
