The existing monster ignition system uses I pick up and two coils but each coil must fire every turn of the crank as the pick up is on the crankshaft. i.e a wasted spark on each cylinder every turn of the crank. At 9000 rpm the system is therefore delivering 36000 sparks per minute.
The Manx Norton would normally be fitted with a magneto running at half engine speed so at 9000 rpm it would be firing 4500 times per minute but this one is twin plug so 9000 sparks per minute.
We shall see if it works
