Compass - a high-performance ignition to suit your Classic Moto Guzzi Twin Point Distributor with Twin Plug Heads
The Compass system replaces your points ignition. It delivers precise timing, easy starting, improved throttle response and an accurate advance curve.
- Ease of installation
- Wiring plugs in to the original loom
- Eliminates the auto advance unit
- Eliminates the points - maintenance free
- Huge increase in spark for easy starting a smooth running
Included with the Compass Ignition for Moto Guzzi with twin plug heads is two 6-Volt Dual Lead coils with leads and caps.
The tiny control box, made by us in Adelaide, Australia, is easy to hide under the side cover and it's fully sealed against vibration and moisture. It uses a high-speed processor to generate the timing required for coil saturation and the advance curve without delays or jitter. It has some unique developments on the inside including high levels of voltage spike protection.
Events such as a battery becoming disconnected while the engine is running can lead to voltages spiking outside of the normal range and must be considered in case a fault does occur.
- Reverse polarity protected
- Spike protected to hundreds of volts
- Continuous overvoltage protected
- Pickup inputs protected
Reverse polarity is blocked out by a diode on the power input and the pickup inputs can tolerate full battery voltage should a connection go astray. It's designed to take anything the bike can throw at it but in case something extraordinary does happen.
The box is repairable thanks to an easily removable sealing compound.
The pickup unit that replaces the points plate (also made by us in Adelaide, South Australia) uses extreme temperature safe components and materials:
- 300-degree Celsius magnet rating,
- 200 C winding wire,
- machined aluminium frame and backing plate
- silicone lead wire
The generous component ratings ensure a happy life inside the hot engine environment. There are no active components inside the pickup unit and it's potted with a flexible sealant to cushion the internals during thermal cycling.
We call this system the Compass because the triggering rotor has two points like a compass! It's this unique shape of the Compass rotor and the accurate CNC machining process that gives the required timing stability and accuracy you would expect from electronic ignition.
Improved reliability, maintenance free and better performance in an easy to install package - the Compass System for your classic Moto Guzzi ticks all the boxes!
An ignition system for people who love to ride their Moto Guzzi!
