2.1.1) Ignition
See Fig. 74-4.
As already stated, the engine is equipped with dual ignition of a
breakerless capacitor discharge design (DCDI). That means that the
ignition unit comprises two independently working ignition circuits
(separate trigger coil, electronic module, charging coils etc.).
â—† NOTE: The ignition unit cannot be disassembled and needs no
adjustment.
Each ignition circuit consists of two ignition branches. Ignition occurs on
cylinder 1 and 2 simultaneously every 360° as well as on cylinder 3 and
4 but 180° offset.
â—† NOTE: Due to engine design, ignition occurs also at "the TDC
of the exhaust stroke", but this has no effect on engine
operation.
The engine is furnished with an automatic ignition timing controlled by
the edge of trigger cams on the fly wheel hub and the electronic
modules.
◆ NOTE: For easy engine start, the ignition timing at start is 4°
B.T.D.C. for ignition circuit A and B.
As soon as the engine runs, the ignition point will change over
automatically to operation ignition.
On the 912 Series: Ignition circuit A and B 26°
On the 914 Series: ignition circuit A 26°
ignition circuit B 22°
The transition from start ignition timing to the timing for operation takes
place between 650 and 1000 rpm.
