Title: Optical triggering ignition system
Post by: Steve Swan on May 16, 2013, 12:04:34 am

Following up on an earlier post, i decided to go with the Power Arc C5 optical ignition system for E2241.  After studying the various magnetic electronic ignition systems compared to the C5, i decided on the C5.  I've got quick cold starts w/ minimal choke, brief warm ups, immediate smooth idle, steady acceleration throughout the rpm range.  Super easy to install.  I'm really pleased with the results.

Paul Crowe of C5, http://www.c5ignitions.com/ (http://www.c5ignitions.com/) was great to talk to and gave excellent tech support for questions i had.

Hi Steve, just wondering if these are the same setup as the cyclex power arc ignition here:

I bought one a few years back but am yet to install it on my cafe racer project.  If it is the same, I'm glad to hear your positive comments on it.

Regards,
Steven

Hi!
None of the above mentioned ignitions systems seems to be available anymore...Just get at a blank (black screen) when klicking on the last address.

There's this which i realize is not help  >>>  http://www.c5ignitions.com/

This might be something to consider, it talks about an optical trigger and a slotted disc, i have no experience with it  >>>  https://www.motorcycle-ignition.com/motorcycle_ei_kit.htm
