Default RE: Are All Rcxl CDI units the same?

That is some good info. I had heard that the curve may had been changed a bit on the V2 DLE30's but had not seen anything on the forums about it. My 30 is a V1 that I converted to a V2. It runs fine on the A-01 ignition. It would be nice to find out the differences between the curves as it could impact what you set the static advance at. I know my 30 develops the greatest rpm when set at about 36 degrees. Problem is the idle is very bad with that much advance. If I drop the advance down to 26 degrees I can get it to idle down to about 1200, but then the top end suffers and I lose rpm. I ended up setting it at about 30~31 degrees. It has a good 1500rpm idle and the top end is pretty good. That is why if the ignition had the curve changed to retard the ignition more at low rpm it would enable the user to set the timing higher to gain rpm on the top end. If a change like that was made the user wouldn't be able to take advantage of it unless he played around with the timing to discover the changes. It may just be the rpm points in the curve were changed with the maximum amount of retard remaining the same as well. I use the term retard as these ignitions do not advance the timing to my understanding. The retard the ignition from what the static advance is set at when at low rpm and reduce the amount that it retards it as the rpm increases until it does not retard at all. I forget at what rpm it no longer retards it.
