New 123 ignition
« on: November 08, 2010, 22:02:19 »
When searching for infos on the SLS website, I found a new version of the 123 ignitor featuring an USB port.As I understand, this is used for computer programming facility.
What do you think could be the benefit to our beloved 113's ?

Hi, Philippe,

I had a look as well.
In my opinion the new distributor is for specialists and people who want to tinker with the advance/retard curves to change engine performance. For normal running, I think the 'original' works fine as many members here are using and have commented on.
