any info on this? TL setup

[junkyardj]

got this TL setup from a friend but it doesnt look like the regular 650/750 msd TL style flywheels, the picup is differnt and has three wires.

ive seen some stuff back in the day about brainless TL but im not sure if thats what this is..

i was toying with putting this in a friends ski but cant find any info on it, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right dirrection

Is there a brain?

to be honest i dont really know:shrug: ive seen old pjs systems refered to as "brainless" systems but i dont see how it would work without a brain box

i got this from a friend who got a "box o parts" kinda deal and im just trying to help out another buddy get some jam out of a old 650sx

Search "brainless total loss" I think there is a long (very long) thread on the subject that may give you some help. A few diagrams, and a lot of bickering, too.

Take another picture of the pickup a bit closer and don't lay stuff on it...
Yes the KV system is a brainless cdi, which was in later years the Dyna system for the powersports industries and both used msd style magnet flywheels.

poop... storm outside and just lost everything I typed about this ignition!!

 

[junkyardj]

from what i just read it seems pretty sketchy, no rev limit!

Ok, lets do this again.
Yes this is a KV system. Uses a 2 magnet flywheel just like the single channel MSD.
Uses a 3 ohm double tower coil and has 3 wires coming from the pickup. Red wire for a battery (+) switched to turn on ignition, one black to connect to (-) side of coil and a colored wire (forgot,blue or gray?) this wire connects to the (+) side of the coil.
As long as the engine has a ground to the engine, no extra ground needed. The pickup grounds itself when mounted.
This ignition is just a straight up timing no curve, set static at the plate and that's what you got.
Blew up many waterboxes and exhaust hoses with this ignition as it will pop a spark when turned on anytime the flywheel magnet is anywhere close to the pickup!
