A simple CDI unit for Partner
« on: April 29, 2016, 11:36:36 am »
Early last year an old Partner came to me with her CDI unit broken, she was R417T manufactured from 1974 according to Mike's site.

http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/9eda198b7f2281e588256afd004bb92e?OpenDocument
(Mike's site shows her displacement as 85cc but it's not correct, may be 55cc. )

Here showing videos of first experiment, some modification to the capacitor, and the last one with a small and simple circuit for this homemade CDI.

And a schematic here;

A couple of pink stuffs in the schematic is oscillo proves, not the parts of the circuit.

Here it is the circuit for it.

This circuit sits under the flywheel cover.

WOW.  Good Job!  Can you tell us how to get rid of the limiters on the cdi's used on these newer saw engines?  They usually start to drop spark around 12,500 rpm and make it really tough to tune.

Hello Sharkey, thank you for visiting and leaving a nice and interesting tip, but I did not know things about limiters on today's saws. My saws are mostly very old except for Husky 550XP.
Do you have a schematic of these limiters?

Doesn't any body have better information about this schematic?

Ok very nice and good work.

I have a few questions.   First the pink on the schematic is that for the Oscilloscope probes.
Second does the 1 microfarad capacitor have a faster discharge time over the 2.2  microfarad cap and hence affecting the timing.

You might want to coat all your components in epoxy to protect them from moisture and oil.   

Could you go to a larger working voltage on the capacitor to prevent it from getting to hot when making long cuts.

Also did you wind the pulser coil your self.   

How high in the RPM's will this circuit be good for.    Like say up to 14,000 or more.   

Some great info and is good to know you can always come up with an ignition for an old saw.

I do not know of any schematics for ignitions that have limiting coils.    Besides those coils are all incased with epoxy and I doubt that you could get into one to modify it in any way. 

If you could get into one of the newer limiting coils and since these ignition systems are solid state devices there is probably a component in there that could be changed so that the RPM range could be made to go higher.

I also noticed that in your first schematic at the end of your video you use a SCR to discharge the capacitor into the ignition coil.
On your second schematic you use two transistors to discharge the capacitor into the ignition coil.

Just two different ways to do the same thing or is there a reason that one is preferred over the other due to reliability or something else.

Also the first one looks to be much more simple in design than the second one.
