Hi all. Just a quick update on our electronic ignition, Gemini, coming to the market for all M14 series engines.
We have completed 41 hours of bench testing with the system and it is going quite well. A few weeks ago Kevin came to Tulsa to participate in the initial mapping of the system andinitialengine runs in the test cell. Our first engine start with the system was on 11/16.
The test engine is equipped with fuel injection (and AFP stock nozzle) and our high compression, 3-ring piston kit. We initially tested the engine with the automotive harness kit, and it produced 383 brake hp (not corrected.)
On 11/18 Monty tested the prototype Gemini system in the test celldoing full power runs, and the engine produced 424 brake hp.
System features include:
Dual Hall Effect
Internally Regulated
Ignition Advance Profile for Cruise Power
Overspeed Protection
Reduced Weight
Weather and Soil Resistent Wiring Harness
We are very excited about the program andare gearing up for a 1st quarter of 2012 launch of the system.Final kit pricing will be available soon. The system will be available exclusively through BPE and Jim Kimball Enterprises.
