I’m not an expert like Jonny so had kept quiet but when they told you the recent version of the ECU can now handle the hall sensor, I suspected that the circuit change will have made it marginal for the old VR sensor which creates a different signal pattern. I prefer the hall sensor but if that is true, they should drop the VR sensor & only supply a hall sensor in the kit.Jonny Hart wrote:Glad it’s sorted but I don’t believe the sensor story.
The input circuits for hall and VR sensors are a different design. If the box doesn’t have a way to configure the input type then it must be built for a particular sensor type. That’s how we build our 3 pin (points) and 6 pin (VR) CDI boxes. Different components needed for each sensor type.
My conclusion is you got sent the wrong box or wrong sensor. Either way, it would be the kit vendor who would have to pick up the bill as they sent the wrong parts.
Perhaps they have developed a more advanced design that switches between different signal conditioning circuits based on the sensor signal or some test at start up…. Or not.
