I live on an
airport where there are over 30 flying RV' of various models
(another 8

commented to
me that I need to get rid of my standard Lightspeed coils and
replace
them with GM coils. They did not mention any part numbers. I have started
but
not flown my Lightspeed equiped 360 and everything so far appears
to work as
advertised. Klaus has also been very helpful on answering my
questions. The
next time I see one of the above RV guys who made the
recommendation, I will
ask for a part number and the reasons why. It might
be a good idea to check
the
RV builders web sites to see whether they
have an archive like Marv'. This
appears to be a understood subject by the
RV people.
Mark,
Interesting. Klaus' Plasma III literature
claims spark duration through
about 20 degrees of rotation (oscillating
CD), >130 mJ spark energy and up
to 40
kV for a powerful spark.
However, the ignition coil detailed at
_www.pvl.de_ (http://www.pvl.de/)
(english) merely claims >21 kV and 30 mJ
(thanks to
Alain).
How does Klaus claim the higher values? Does the LSE CD
system boost the
coil characteristics?
But to Marv's point, the PVL
coil primary is .6 ohms and 1.65 mH. What
happens when the MSD coil
doesn't match up to the LSE electronics? MSD coil
is
.35 ohms and 4.2
mH. _http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_9_8224.htm_
(http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_9_8224.htm)
BTW, LASAR
claimed about 40 degrees of rotation for spark duration and 60
kV.
In any event, my dual Plasma III system works just fine,
including the PVL
coils.

PS - For LSE users: There is
a service bulletin at
_http://www.lsecorp.com/News/ServiceBulletins.htm_
(http://www.lsecorp.com/News/ServiceBulletins.htm)
concerning misfires
during starts. It is worth
reading.
