Has anyone successfully coupled the PowerDynamo System with the Programmable Zeeltronics unit? I know it has been done in the RD-350 community, but I'm discovering that there may be some difficulties doing this with a triple. Edgar from Powerdynamo thinks it may not be possible because the stator uses an internal Pickup on the H1 system, as opposed to an external pickup (outside the rotor) on the RD/RZ system. Looking for someone with any actual experience?
Has anyone got any experience with either unit by themselves on H1 or H2?
My ignition unit on my H1 motor is junk so I am starting from scratch either way.

The programmable Zeeltronics unit will work ok with the powerdynamo system. It is simply connected between the pickups and the CDI/coil assemblies. I can supply a diagram if needed.... I fitted one to a GT550 several months ago. The best way to fit this to the H1 kawasaki would be to use the 3 pickup/3 CDI/coil powerdynamo, and do away with the distributor assembly. Like with the Boyer Bransden system, powerdynamo also fire the three cylinders together. Despite first impressions that just one pickup would work, this would fool the Zeeltronics that the engine is doing three times the RPMs and the programming would be in error, although normally this would work fine without the programmable function. To use the Zeetronics, the three pickup coils need to be disconnected from each other and connected seperately to the Zeetronics unit. This also has the benefit of firing the 3 cylinders sepeartely in sequence.
I am unsure why having internal or external triggering would make any difficulty unless rotation speed would make for hard starting.
Cant figure how to send the attachment via a PM or email, so here is the diagram. Incidentally, there is no good reason why the Zeeltronics wont work with the standard OEM kawasaki CDI unit on the H2, although I havent tried yet. I know they work with the Starfire units.
DISCLAIMER Using the Zeeltronics in this manner will likely void any warranty . Modifying the Powerdynamo will also likely void its warranty too.
