Pls elaborate on the performance difference
Yes it is true that the HP gain is not that great, but IMO you achieve the following benefits:
1. Less wet weather problems- I can hose my Pulsar dizzy with the Bosch leads and no rubber dizzy cover, and it doesn't miss a beat.
2. More accurate timing (less timing scatter) on each cylinder, as wear in the dizzy bearings has hardly any timing effect on the electronic module- unlike the case when using points.
3. No points to burn out, or adjust.
4. Timing stays correct for long periods, unlike what happens when points wear.
5. Better spark at high rpm, due to no points bounce.
6. No poor quality condenser or points needed. Quality of these components has gone downhill lately, even with `name brands'.
As for reliability- yes, I have succeeded in burning out a Britparts module (I left the ign on too long with motor stopped whilst troubleshooting).
However, I have converted probably 10 or 12 Pulsar dizzys, all are still going fine. They seem to be bulletproof, I gave up carrying a Lucas dizzy `just in case' years ago.
Pulsar dizzys were made by Hitachi, not some `fly by night' cheapo chinese aftermarket electronics outfit.
American `Pertronix II' electronic modules and dizzys are burnoutproof too, if you happen to leave ignition on when stopped..
