Jerry,
The proper setup is to run a single reluctor and two pickups. What
Lynn
and I were talking about was running two complete low cost ignition
modules. Think of it like running two linked single rotor engines
with a
common e-shaft! If one module failed you could still have one rotor
firing.

I think you need to define reluctor Bill. Also a sketch would help.
I think Jerry is also talking about a single rotor engine.
Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
I am talking about a single rotor but with the thought of using two
pick ups together with two dual lead coils and the ability to switch
between them. I don't know if this if practical. If I added the
separate ignition module would I have a single rotor version of what
Bill is describing? As I said a couple of e-mails back, this
thinking has been triggered by comments and photos posted by Lynn.
Jerry
If you want to use two pickups you will have to use two trigger
wheels or a very wide trigger wheel as the two pickups will be side
by side. Make the trigger wheel mounting holes elongated so you
can adjust the ignition timing.
