sorry, I don't remember if this has been asked before,,,

can I use a 5 cell ni-cad on my MVVS 35 (red head) ignition ?? and, will I get more spark with a 5 cell ??


Jim

Some are 4.8V only. I recently got one that says 4.8V or 6V

I'd use 4.8V to be on the safe side.

Jim,


With the new twin-magnet Vlach (or MVVS) ignition systems you can use from 4.8 to 6.0 volts of nominal pack voltage.

This would mean either a 4-cell, or a 5-cell pack is good.


With a higher primary voltage, the secondary voltage would be higher, which does mean a stronger spark.

a stronger spark gives better performances?

No, Paolo.

If ignition occurs, a stronger spark will not make more performance.
It does offer slightly easier starting in border-line mixture situations.

This means the engine, before it is perfectly adjusted, would be more likely to fire.

...Less flipping is an improvement.

thanks, I'm going with a 5 cell, more spark will help it start better..
