Default Sparks

The TIM-6 is not a CDI it is a Kettering type ignition with a transister trigger instead of points. Dwell time is important for this type of ignition. Yes the sparks run down at high speeds.
The CH unit is a true CDI unit, however even it will run out of sparks at a very high rpm. Recharge time of the capicator ya know.
