[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 52304, member: 778"] A separate mag for each cylinder has been done many times on Vincent racers. I think there is one running at the drags/ sprints in England at this time. I built a separate ignition system for each cylinder on my Magnesium Monster drag bike back in the day, and later with English Thunder I built another point ignition system that had the separate cylinder firing qualities. The Barn Job and others went that direction, duel coils, points and so on. The reason is a high voltage spark can be obtained that is reliable needed to ignite the Nitro fuels . I forgot I think Matson has a separate unit he built as well , could be wrong, but I think years ago we talked about what I did, using off the shelf parts and a little ingenuity to build the Mag Monster one. Good to hear you will soon have a spare for the A trek . I remember Smith telling me what he did as fare as spares and how he coped with the logistics to get them to him if needed, that's when he made the South America long haul trek. Cheers------ Max [/QUOTE]
