Ignition for 1975 860 GT, non-Bosch
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:57 am
At about 50% through the resto, I am trying to keep ahead of the curve on parts acquisition.
Presently, I am looking to see what ignition system retrofits are available, as the original OEM unit has a less than stellar reputation, With the exception of the ignition not shutting off on the top cylinder (didn't do the swapperoo of connections to see if the problem moved to the forward hole...), I had no problems with it. Bike is too far apart to do anything but a static test, but I am a bit skittish about the ignition, especially since I have invested so much time and moola into the resto.
Any comments or recommendations on a replacement? Thus far, I only see Sachse; anyone have experience with this? Steve does not appear to have a lot of inventory in this area.
Thanks in advance.
