My point gap just keeps closing all the time. What options would I have to ditch the points system and go for something different that wouldn't give me problems?

I fitted a petronix system and got rid of my points. Easy as to fit. I first used it back in the UK prolly 98 i think could have been earlier. i carn't remember the last time i had points in my bug ! When i got this bug here in oz i just brought my dizzy with me slapped it in and off i went ! I know they are on there 2nd gen version now !! I'll be getting one for the kombi i think........

I have just gone through this crap - read my post on Crap 009
Anyway why it is closing down could be no grease on the spindle and it is wearing away, crap material on the rider thingy or just crap points.
I would suggest strongly putting in a Magfire. I bought mine from V Force for $110-ish (no quoteing me here ok)
These are in both Daisy and Blue and i never need to worry about points or timing again! :bounce
As far as I now the Petronix 2 system is the only one with a protection curcuite so if you engine stalls while warming up and your not there to switch ignition of it won't burn out you electronic points.
They are also about $390 here in oz but with long waranty.
May be cheeper to buy from os.
If the petronix 2 cost $390 i would buy 3 of the old petronix from os with postage and pocket the change,or WHERES COSTA to organize a group buy.I got a 009 with hall sensor and module and electronic coil works great but to ambarassed to say how much,:o
I've been running a Compufire Ignition for 2 years on my 1600 with 009. No probs at all.
Not sure about the retard on No3 pretty sure that the 009 Compufire kit doesnt have this. Hasnt proved to be a prob for me so far.
