BlankThe question below was e-mailed to me by Tracy Smith. He has AOL, I could not respond, AOL blocked me. So here is the question(s) and my answer. Hope you don't mind Tracy, but you really need to trash AOL, it sucks. You probably miss a lot of e-mails, they, AOL, Earthlink and another one, I can't remember the third one, were rated by computer magazine a while back as the worst three. They are too zealous with their spam controls. That's not my opinion, it's what the magazine said. Anyway, that's why you didn't get an answer, I answer all my e-mails.
QUESTIONS
I have a question regarding the Harley installation. Being an Evo owner (1987 Harley Tour Glide) I'm very familiar with the Motor Company and the Twin-Cam. My question is what i see as a lack of redundancy in the HD ignition system. There is ONE hall-effect pickup, one processor, etc. This scares me a bit. Did you or Brett do anything to address this? I was at Sun & Fun and this question was carefully sidestepped along with a lack of carb heat on his demo installation (NOT the 601XL installation that he sold).
Another question: would this installation lend itself to an Ivoporp electrically-adjustable prop? The Corvair I am also looking at will NOT.
MY ANSWER.
To the best of my knowledge there is no dual ignition available. It doesn't worry me. It is extremely rare for one of the new ignition systems to fail. When and if they do fail, they just don't start. I've never seen one fail while running. You don't need carb heat, the carb sits between and a little behind the cylinders. It get all the heat it needs. Can't address the prop thing. I know nothing about it
