Got my MSD TL back from jetskisolutions

[Troublemaker]

I Sent my total loss out to be reconditioned . I had someone try to get it to work for my but couldn't so i talked to john and he said he would check it out and recondition it. Anyone that is looking to buy a new MSD system or even have a used one and want to have it tested and reconditioned should send it to john at jet ski solutions..... i am extremely happy with his work and how it turned out! here are some pictures you can check out:arms:

looks good, I thought John always set them up with the coils away from the controller.

i thought that too, but he said he has been doing them like this , and it makes no difference...

IMPORTANT: Do not mount the coil within 6" of the ignition control unit.

Found this on the MSD site.

But I have seen more like yours than split. Heck, a buddy bought one of Tera Laho's pro-mod SJ's set up the same as yours. Only I would say yours will be more reliable!!!!!

Yeah I read the same thing on there site.. I asked john about it, he said he used to mount them on the battery, but did a few like this and asked the customers for feedback on how it worked and he said nobody has had a problem yet. He said he would like my feedback also.. We shall see!!

I am guessing the newer Digital systems are not effected by the RF interferrance that the older systems had (May not be the best discription). Crammit or Tricky could explain better.

Digital systems are MORE affected by RF interference. (Generally speaking)

I always found it odd that MSD says that since the picture they show on their installation guide is definitely mounted closer than 6". I think it's a plow to void the warranty... :scratchchin:

I've never seen a total loss setup that had the two seperated by 6" but I haven't looked that hard either. I wonder if the digital systems are less subjective to interference because they are in a metal case instead of a plastic case like the analog systems.

edit: I double checked the install guide for model 4272 and they don't say anything about seperation distances.
