I’ve seen those but not sure if they’ll overheat like the original. It seems that foggysail’s fix does not. That’s why I’d like an original to work with.
Has anyone used the German Saegenspezi ignition?
Thanks, I’ll look again. Do you know if the SEM fanwheel fits the Bosch flywheel?
Only 1 of 3 Bosch module capacitor replacements worked for me, so don’t be dissapointed.
The SEM GA doesn’t have a separate fan, so it won’t work. The old SEM GE used a 2 part fly & fan wheel, so that fan would work.
I bought a Saegenspezi Bosch CD module last year, to see what they were all about, and it totaled $120 after currency conversion.
CONS
The sub-base was over 80mm, and had to be ground on center to fit. The kill wire was too short & had to be spliced. The base is very thick, so you’ll need two longer hold down bolts, or mill the bolt holes further in. The transistor trigger is Taiwan made, so nothing German was on it.
PROS
However, they correctly relocated the coil for proper 26 degree BTDC base timing, and it’s never overheated after a year of use. They’ve sold 3-400 of them, and I still see the short kill wire...I’m not sure about the base dimensions.
I’d never buy another one, due to the high cost, but instead prefer to use a new SEM GA using the Selettra branded module, or convert back to points if the crank snout has a cam lobe.
