Round the Bend

We have a problem...
The motorcycle throttle body is cable operated and the SU carbs were operated by a lever setup that would make Rube Goldberg proud.

Q: How to make a lever operate a cable? It turns out Dad is full of good ideas, and screen door parts.

spark and start

We added a wasted spark ignition control circuit to the megasquirt using a ford EDIS coil pack. Now we have a beautiful spark and a running engine. We used the ISL9V modules soldered to a bread board inside the megasquirt and added 9-pin connector for the wiring.

Next on the agenda is to fix the electric cooling fans (still the old Lucas electrics) and get tuning.
