Just acquired a Rapide and I am trying to identify the electronic ignition. The unit replacing the magneto is about the size of a small magneto and has a red LED on the end cap which lights up when the ignition is powered.

I cant see similar using the PAZON or Boyer Bransden Websites.

Any ideas? I am trying to find the instructions and wiring diag.

Grosset ignition unit. Two cap screws holding the end cap on ? Body rotatable to allow fine tuning with the engine running.

Tranny ignition

It's a Grosset distributor. The LED is on when the coil is being fed, goes out when "the points" break. Early models came with a length of fibre-optic cable, useful for those of us who don't have an extra head mounted on a neck long enough to look at both sides of the bike at once. Still, the exercise does you good...
