Why Do I Need To Use Suppressed Plug Caps?

Plug caps fitted with suppression resistors are usually fitted to prevent radio interference. radio interference (noise) can cause more complex electronic circuits like radios and computers to malfunction. Our Micro Digital and Micro Power ignition systems contain a small computer operating at high speed that can be adversely affected by radio frequency interference. Symptoms can range from refusal to start to intermittent engine stalling symptoms. Use of non-suppressed plug caps has been known to cause permanent damage to the ignition unit.

Why Can't I Use A Micro Power Coil With An MK3 Or Micro Digital System?

The very high currents that would flow would damage both the unit and the coil. the Micro Power coil can only be used with the Micro Power ignition unit; Micro Digital and MK3 ignition units are designed to work with contact breaker type ignition coils only.

How Can I Tell What Ignition System Is Fitted On My Bike?

MK3 - ignition boxes are black Micro Digital - ignition boxes are red (old style Micro Power ignitions were also red) Micro Power - ignition boxes are blue (old style Micro Power ignitions were red) ID units - positive units are red, negative units are black (these systems both have LED's positioned at the top of the unit)
