Tore the old Venture completely apart. Install the Ignitech on top of the now empty coil rack. Perfect fit between mounting ears. Made conversion wired for coils. Set the box for short dwell and one revolution before spark. Fired it over and runs pretty nice. Box is set for you Vmax guys. Have to move the curve down a tad. More for the heavier bike that tours. Tied all 4 vacuum ports together as an experiment to smooth out pulses to MAP. Need to adjust the voltage on the MAP a bit yet. Above 3500 rpm it wants to rip out asphalt!! From 2000 to 3500 it is a bit flatter than original. Second gear at 4000rpm is wicked. Ignitech has a strange tach drop at 4000rpm. Will drop to 2000. Just the tach and not all the time. Seems to be just when I punch it then let off a hair. From here it is fine tuning. I still may send carbs to Dannymax for a final workover. Think I still have a slight problem in one carb idle circuit. But maybe I am nitpicking a 30 year old machine.
