Hi all....I am having trouble with an electronic ignition module that I bought for a twin cylinder IC engine ( Hoglet) I built. The module I have is from CDI Rcexl model:A-02 ver.2. It also has a small sticker on the side of the unit that say "3W". I have attached photos to this post so you can see exactly which unit I have.
There are a couple of issues I have noticed with this.
The first one is that it appears to be that spark plug sockets are too deep..I am using NGK CM-6 spark plugs and the unit I bought is supposed to be for use with these spark plugs. I ended up removing a wire clip/ring that's at the end of the socket and that seems like it allows me push them deeper onto to the spark plug, but it takes some effort to push them on, which I think it shouldn't be so much effort to get them to stay on the plugs.
When I put power to it ( 12 volts) and when I pass a magnet over the hall sensor both spark plugs fire at the same time. I am using two magnets, one North Pole and one South Pole alternately. Sometimes the unit won't fire the spark plugs at all. I run the magnets directly on the hall sensor so I don't think it's too much distance between the magnets and the sensor.
So...I'm wondering if I even have the correct unit. If it appears to you all that I have the correct module then maybe someone could point me in the right direction as to how to make it run properly...or maybe this is a defective unit.
I'm kind of at a loss here so any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
