Modules -
You can build
them yourself
from kits for
peanuts.
"Most
carburetor
problems are
electrical." That was told to me by a savvy old auto
mechanic long
ago and it has
proven true
more times
than I can
remember.

TIM-6
Basic Kit
For
use with 6
volt batteries
(or 4.8
minimum to 7
volts maximum)
on any engine
type.
Kit
contains: (1)
TIP42C
Transistor,
(1) 2N2907A
Transistor,
(4) Resistors,
(1) LED Timing
Light, (1) 3
Amp. 40 volt
reverse
polarity
protection
diode, (1)
Hall Effect
Magnetic
Sensor, (1)
Rare Earth
Magnet, (1)
Drilled
Printed
Circuit Board,
Complete
assembly and
installation
instructions..
The circuit
board is
approximately
1.35" wide by
1.70" long.
Just to the
left of the
circuit board
is the Hall
Effect sensor
and the dot
just above it
is the rare
earth magnet
which is just
1/8" in
diameter and
1/16" thick
(3.2mm x
1.6mm).
Note:
Due to
component
changes, some
PCB holes may
need to be
drilled
slightly
larger.
TIM-6
Deluxe Kit
Same as above, except also
includes
a PCB
Screw Type
Terminal Strip
for ease of
connecting or
removing your
battery, coil,
and other
wires.
Also
available
fully
assembled and
tested for
$40.00.

Electronic Buzz Coil
 
What's
a "buzz coil"?
It's
very similar
to the TIM-6
ignition
module except
that instead
of generating
one spark for
each power
stroke, the
buzz coil can
generate dozens
for each power
stroke (200
per second -
duration
depends on the "dwell angle").
This
greatly
improves
combustion for
slower
hit-and-miss
or older
engines that
may not have
much
compression.
The new
PCB is
slightly
larger than
Jerry's
original and
displays part
outlines and
labels for
easier
assembly.
Also
included are
wire terminal
blocks to make
wire hookup
much easier.
The "Buzz Coil" is so named because old
units (i.e.
Ford's Model
T) were
mechanical
that also
incorporated
the coil, and
they "buzzed"
when they were
activated.
Our "Buzz
Coil" replaces
the mechanical
relay of the
old units.
A
separate coil
is still
required.
For use with 6
to 12 volt
batteries and
coils.
Kit
contains: (1)
NTE2312
Transistor or
equivalent,
(1) NTE24
Transistor,
(2) 2N2907A
Transistors,
(12)
Resistors, (1)
LED Timing
Light, (1)
LM555CN Timer
IC or
equivalent,
(3)
Capacitors,
(1) Drilled
Printed
Circuit Board,
(2) Screw
Terminal
Blocks,
Complete
assembly and
installation
instructions.
The circuit
board is
approximately
1-1/2" wide by
2-1/2" long.
Since
many builders
connect these
to their
"points"
system, the
kit does NOT
include a Hall
sensor or
magnet as
these may not
be needed.
However,
if you are not
using
"points", be
sure to order
a Hall and
magnet from
the "Ignition
Systems" menu.
Order an
extra Hall
sensor and
magnet if you
wish to use
the "spark
saver" option.
For hit & miss engines, order an extra
Hall sensor
and magnet if
you wish to
use the "spark
saver"
option.
This feature
prevents the
ignition from
firing while
the engine is
"coasting",
greatly
increasing the
life of your
battery
(details
included in
the
accompanying
instructions).
Also
available
assembled and
tested for
$55.00.

"My
engine is now
running and
wow what a
difference,
like a
different
engine, runs
smoothly and
never miss
fires as it
did with the
old system and
stop, really
impressed with
this Hall
system and
many thanks
for all your
help and
answering my
questions and
supplying the
parts so I
could fit one."
