 Paul,

 What fires the ignition?

 I looked at the M&W site and there are T1, t2, l1,and L2.

 Joe Berki

 Those are the Leading and Trailing coils.

 Four total. One for each plug.

 Simple.


 Joe,

 This is the conversation I had with M&W sales. I was unable to find
 out how to trigger the system with or with out a computer. Apparently
 I was talking to a non engineer.

 I think it will work but you will have to buy one and experiment with
 it to find out. A pulse is a pulse whether it comes from a computer
 or a conditioned CAS.

 They make some good stuff in Oz but the documentation sucks.

 Maybe somebody else on here that speaks Oz can try :-)

 I give up.

 Wayne, are you an engineer or electronic technician or are you just
 sales? Do you know what a CAS is? If not show this message to the
 engineer.

 Suppose I fired L1 and T1 with the same leading edge  pulse from the
  stock CAS (crank angel sensor) at 22 degrees BTDC and used another
 CAS  180 degrees out to fire L2 and T2 would that work with the
 rotary ignition _Pro-14R
 <http://www.mwignitions.com/pdf/Rotary%20S3%20instructions.pdf ?_

 What would I have to connect pin 5 to.

 Paul

 Please explain exactly what you need.


 Wayne

 so we would need 4 for a rotary. One for each coil. That does not
 sound like the lowest cost solution.

 Suppose I fired L1 and T1 with the same leading edge  pulse from the
  stock CAS (crank angel sensor) at 22 degrees BTDC and used another
 CAS  180 degrees out to fire L2 and T2 would that work with the

 Our single channel Pro-10R already has a reluctor interface built in
  and we will be releasing an adjustable rev-limiter version of it
 shortly.

 Wayne



 do you have a single channel system?

 we find that a fixed 22 degrees BTDC works fine for us.

 No variable advance.

 We use a LM1815 conditioning IC The pdf is attached.

 It works with a CAS set to 22 degrees BTDC

 The multi channel systems are designed fro triggering from an ECU not
 crank trigger.


 Wayne


 how do you get your ignition to work with a carburetor? Is is
 suffacnt to trigger pin 5 with a crank angles sensor?

 If so what do I do with pins 25, 27, 28 and 29?

 Paul,

 I am using the single channel system, PRO-10R, with the reluctor
 trigger input and a waste spark coil on the single rotor. Connected
 an RX8 CAS and it worked just fine. Had it up to 7000 RPM yesterday.
 I had to order it direct from M&W, because no US dealer does stock
 it.

 FWIW


 Richard Sohn


 Are you firing just one plug Richard or does that waste spark coil
 fire 2 plugs? What did the single channel system  cost?

 Paul Lamar


Paul,

I am firing both plugs from the same coil. I paid about $500.

Richard Sohn


I assume that is a wasted spark type coil. Is that true.
Do you have a picture of it?
That is a one rotor of course.

This picture shows two coils.
