8 Amp (2 ohms) coil driving capacity – 20 Amps peak
THE PowerDriver Ignition Solution
Most new petrol engined vehicles dont use points or a coil at all – they use "coil on plug" units, basically a miniature coil for EACH plug, and these contain an advanced driver semiconductor device for high output.
Older motocycles can take advantage of this new device's fast, high output nature, by adding this technology between their existing coil and points – you keep the points, remove the condenser, and get points that can last up to 50,000 miles and a big output from your coil.
Retaining your bike's original points setup, running at very low current, makes them last far far longer (up to 50K miles) while making this unit really easy to fit as no model specific sensors and rotor changes are required.
The Gammatronix PowerDriver operates ONE coil from ONE sets of points as commonly found on single cylinder or some twin cylinder bike engines with "wasted spark" system.
(If you have a bike with two coils and two sets of points, see our Ebay shop for the PowerDriver Magnum dual channel system).
The Gammatronix PowerDriver contains all its control electronics in a compact assembly just 30mm wide, 20mm tall and 85mm long. This small unit can be mounted on or near to your existing coil or any other convenient local mounting point.
Just four wires to connect – red power, black ground, then snip the wire from your points to your coil and connect the points side to the PowerDriver's blue wire and the coil side to the PowerDriver's yellow output wire.
PowerDriver gives you a control system that collapses the flux in your coil in millionths of a second to create a fat, precise, well timed spark that doesnt vary with arcing across the points, or alter over time due to spark erosion.
How Does It Work?
Conventional coil and points based systems on older bikes suffer from several disadvantages due to system inefficiencies.
The presence of the condenser, sparking at the points and slow coil "magnetic flux dump" time of a conventional ignition system leads to a less than optimal output from the coil. The physics are that the faster the coil primary voltage disconnects, (leading to a rapid collapse of stored inductive flux in the coil) the higher the peak voltage output of the coil will be.
The Gammatronix PowerDriver Ignition eliminates the inefficiencies in your ignition system by charging the coil rapidly and dumping the stored coil primary flux FAST to make a bigger, better, more precisely timed spark.
Is It Right For My Bike?
It is if you can say YES to the following questions :
1. My Bike has a standard coil and points and condenser ignition powered from the battery with ONE coil and ONE points (if you have two coils and two points see our PowerDriver MAGNUM listing in out ebay shop)
2. My Bike doesnt have a magneto operated ignition - Some small engined motorcycles have an ignition powered from the alternator directly - if your bike will run with the battery disconnected, it has a magneto. 50cc mopeds and small trails bikes MAY have a magneto....
3. My Bike has a 12v electrical system
4. My Bike has the battery negative terminal connected to the chassis (negative earth)
Unit is compact, at only 85 x 30 x 18mm in size.
The Gammatronix PowerDriver Module comes in negative earth only, and as a 6v or 12v model – please make sure you buy the correct unit for your vehicle's voltage – check the title of this listing to be sure you are buying a compatible version.
Unit comes with full printed installation instructions and mounting ties.
All units have a 12 month warranty.
