I've had a JEH TIM-6 ignition for 3-4 months now and has worked well. About a month ago I burnt up one of the transistors and the coil unknowingly. My best guess is that the engine died and the magnets were under the hall sensor while I fiddled with the carb. This prolonged "dwell time" melted the coil. No problem. I ordered another $27 coil and replaced the two transistors and was careful to unplug the battery or watch for the magnet position if it died again. Boom, it happened again. I think it only partially shorted the coil because I could let it cool off and it would spark another time or two then stop.

Has anyone else had problems with this system? How would you install a fuse to shut off power if stalled?

Has anyone come up with an alternative to the $140+ commercial ignition setups?
