Dan's C5 test installation

Pic's and step by step to follow.......

This post is a test fit on an engine I have out of frame.
Installation in my runner will be done this weekend.

(That should say NOTE not Not)

I soldered that red wire on for a better ground. Paul from C5 ignitions assures me all future units will come with a ground wire already in place.
I've also fashioned my own "grommet" from a piece of fuel line and clear hose.
No grommet is in the kit but Paul is working on that also.

Time it as it says in the instructions and torque the center nut!

Something I forgot to mention but realized during the installation is the ignition housing doesn't need to come completely off.
If you leave the bottom left screw in place it will hold the housing in place and still allow the new ignition to go in since this is the only screw without a washer.

Any thing to line it up with / clock it? I see that if it is not clocked right the timing will be off.

Yes, that will come when I install it in the runner.
It needs power to time it before tightening the center nut.

I'll edit the post to say that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nice! Thanks Dan! :thanks:

Timing can be set with the use of a simple 9 volt transistor battery. Just hook the red power wire of the ignition to the (+) of the 9 volt battery and the Negative to the (-) of battery, do not use any other wires. Have the engine on TDC and rotate the Optical Encoder in to the direction of engine rotation until the TDC LED lights. Lock it down and your done.

You can do finite adjustments by loosening the hold down bolts and rotating the Ignition itself to light the LED.

The Ignition only draws a few milliamps and peak current is when the LED is turned on.

It's that simple.

Exceptional step by step and pictures Dan

Thanks Dan and Paul,

Now I feel like what I bit off I can now chew. Seems simple enough.

So now where does the the white,green,blue, and black wires go?

The plug that snaps onto the coil-What goes in the plug? Red wire gets soldered onto the silver tab-correct?

What do you plug the hole with where the diaphram rod comes out of the casing?

Great pics!!!! and explaination.

I'll try to cover all those questions with pictures and explanations during the actual install this weekend.

:clapping: :clapping: As usual - well photographed and documented!

Thanks, Dan

Well, that looks like a simple install.

I see that the vacuum diaphragm housing went back in it's place minus the rod. What did you do with the vacuum tube running to the diaphragm, leave it in place or plug it? Just curious.

~O~

 

[dan filipi]

I'll plug the fitting at the carb since that diaphram is leaking.

Did I miss your install on the runner?

Sorry Wes, I haven't completed editing the pictures yet but will try to get that done soon.

Well I probably won't have it done by then since I have to work also but anyway you should be sure and call Paul since he made some improvements I haven't seen yet so talking to him would be more accurate information.
If you still need you can call me.
I think you have my cell number.
