Jake, the configuration you changed to is actually backwards from the ignition mfg. standards. RCExl, and CH both top sellers in the field have it trigger as the magnet LEAVES the sensor. If this is reversed, there is no way on the engines using this program will be able to readjust the sensor mount to accommodate the way too early triggering!
I tried this before, extremely difficult to accomplish when the screw mounting holes are predrilled on each engine for timing. I can reverse the statements in the lines for my tests, but the 5 or so sparks as it first triggers can definitely be counted by ear. It takes about 1 to 1-1/2 seconds to complete the sparks. You should physically only be able to discernibly hear what would sound like only one spark, not 5. Spacing is WAY too far apart. Might be on the order of 25 to 30 degrees apart if the crankshaft were rotating when triggered. Try it for yourself with a programmed chip, a sensor and a magnet.
Any one else following this? I may have to just turn the feature off to eliminate the sparks if we can't figure it out. Wanted to do live engine testing today, now stuck in rewrite & program edit mode. Pooh !
