The schnitz Boxes seem nice but mine occasionally just quits, The engine just stops for no reason, someone suggested the Firestorm unit but once bitten twice shy, I bought a dyna 2000 unit and will try it with a suitable NOS controller, Mike

Yeah Ray I ve heard that also now what to do with my collection? I doubt anyone would even buy one , Oh well another piece of Junk for the Junk shelf, along with broken cranks rods pistons valves clutches , tranny gears yaddah yaddah, ha ha Mike Oh Ray you have a set of 1100 straight cut gears in decent shape for sale? Lemme know please Thanx Mike
the instant the scrolling text has errors - you have a problem. but you probably already know that. Dyna ignition products are the best you can get. stay away from MSD for your GS. people use it, but I bet they wonder why they toss cranks so often.
have you heard about the Wizards of Nitrous? - their metering method makes more sense than the established NOS or NX. I was impressed when I read about it.
I have NOS stand alone progressive box. don't use the stuff but I have a couple complete nitrous wet kits.
Orient Express has a gear set for under $500.

Yes Trip I have had those errors, Back in the eighties on our old 8 second bike we ran the MSD with plug in rev control chips, never had a issue except it seemed hard on batteries, Maybe a electric cordless drill setups best for ignition systems now/ Whats you're opinion on those? You run one/ I don't need to mess with schnitz boxes as I don't get to run my bike much with work and other hobbies. I like it all to work when I take it out and getting a couple runs on a schnitz box before troubles sucks the bone kinda. Thanx for reply Mike
EPA and weak batteries gets me fired up!
EPA and weak batteries gets me fired up!
there are a couple guys that use the drill batteries - but you have to have 4 or 6 of them and rotate them every round -and they shadow quickly - I do not like that- plus my set up is self starting so I need 2 medium sized batts via. pair of 12 or 14 Amp/hr to get the job done. Cashio stated a 12 and a little 5 will do the job - however I like overkill reliability. and I want my $400 starter motor to live!
. I have used a FBG orange battery but did not see the value - got it in a bike I purchased used and kept it alive as long as I could. - changed to a Odyssey brand from batteries plus - got 7 duty cycles from the first one and warrantied it (had to forfeit at a race because of it)- second one got about 10 duty cycles ( same thing lost entry money thanks to a bad battery) - warrantied it and complained directly to Odyssey - the third was a good one that lasted a couple years. Batteries plus can fade away as far as I am concerned. they certainly rely on a warranty and hope you lose the receipt. the hassle when they tell you your battery has no problem right after it ruined my day - So I nuked that sumbitch with my load tester until it shorted and went back to the store - oh it seems you have a bad battery sir.... yeah thanks teen ager.
Today I have a pair of Yuasas' a YTX14 and a YTX12 to do the job and it is head and shoulders above anything else - I use 24dcv to start it and 12dcv to run the ignition -Dyna"S" and 3 ohm coils pull a 5~7 amp draw.
yuasa and interstate batteries have been a favorite of mine and I should have never been a copy cat at the drag strip - all those "special batteries" are a waste of time.
Dynatek gets a A+ in my book 100% sp 4000 and .7 coils , dd2000-4 -with instant retard.... and the ultra simple "S" using 3 ohm coils are the best products you can buy -
progressive controllers? wish I knew a better alternative - the schnitz box does exactly what you need but why it has not been upgraded to military grade in beyond me -- I had problems with my Biondo delay box - and they filled it with hot melt glue to counteract the vibrations, which worked like a charm almost 10 years going - maybe that is what is needed for schnitz box to live longer? -
anyone else want to chime in?
