I have always wanted a Boyer Bransden electronic ignition system. It was fairly expensive but I hope for great things from the unit, not least of which is not having to set the points every couple of weeks. Click HERE for the Boyer Bransden website.
I read the instructions through several time during the summer but without actually doing as the instruction said it was hard to figure what they where talking about. I got a brew and a stool and laid out all the bits on the bike lift. The ignition unit on the BM is the "Bean Can" type. I followed the instructions to dismantle the inner gubbins of the bean can. There is no way anything was going back in that can once it have it out. It would just be too fiddly. I followed the instructions very closely. Some items did not seem to work but it is Boyer B kit so it should work. After another brew the penny dropped. I rubbed a file though one of the locator recesses and the rotor just slipped in against the pins as per the instructions. After that it was plain sailing. When I got the Boyer B kit installed in the bean can I took the wire wool to the body of the can and polished it up. It is never going to be concourse condition bike but it will be serviceable. I greased the bearings and fitted the bean can into the eccentric drive off the big end shaft. It is a neat fit. Let us hope the oil seal is good and keeps the oil off the alternator.
The next job is to fit the coils, position the electronic ignition box and run the wires.
