Electronic Ignition is now standard for the majority of new vehicles. It offers better starting, smoother running, improved fuel economy and lower emissions when compared with more traditional systems.

On certain types of older or high mileage vehicles, wear in the distributor may affect the timing and cause a falling away of performance, whilst sparking at the points burns the contacts and wastes energy.

Some classic vehicles suffer from "fragile" electrics which may be affected by vibration or dampness, often an electronic ignition system will eliminate these problems allowing the machine to be used with greater confidence and to its full potential.

Legislation against pollution is set to become even tougher. Electronic ignition systems allow most of the available energy to reach the spark and offer more complete combustion. As such, they are an important and simple weapon in the war on pollutants, helping to keep classic machines where they belong - out on the road, not in museums!

Boyer-Bransden - Over 35 Years Proven Performance

The first commercially produced Boyer-Bransden electronic ignition was launched in 1969 for Boyer of Bromley, a then famous motorcycle dealership whose Triumph race team were experiencing trouble with the points on their race bikes. They proved an instant success. The creator of the system, Ernie Bransden, had already developed the design for use in his own Ford engined racing car.

By the time the Lucas "Rita" system entered the arena in 1973 Boyer-Bransden were already producing the Mark 11 having then sold more than 2,000 systems. Since that time various electronic ignitions and manufacturers have come and gone, but Boyer-Bransden have been in constant production. The company has not stood still however, a low cost inductive discharge system which retains the conventional points is now produced along side the highly advanced MK111 and there is a the newer Micro Digital and Micro Power ignition systems with electronically controlled, programmable advance and retard.

Boyer-Bransden ignitions are used by many motor cycle racers and a Boyer-Bransden system has been taken up by a major Formula Three car race team with impressive results.
