Hi - thanks for the replies. Ultimately, all I want is a tacho that works (pref with little extra circuitry that might go wrong in future) when I go through scrutineering noise checks! Because neither rev counters now work :-/ what is the best way to ensure I am getting a good tacho output from the ...

TIM + Racetech Rev counter issue

Hi all, My MJ v3.3.2 is working well on the sprint/hillclimb mini. I bought a Racetech rev counter to replace my TIM cheapy rev counter (running with the zener diode circuit from the install guide) that was bouncing quite a bit. I've never been able to get the Racetech working with either the direct...

Hi thanks for the reply - nothing really with the shield earth fix. She still exhibits the same issue. the plugs and leads are good - I get resistances of between 4 & 6 on a 20k ohm scale, plus plugs are not coked up or burned out. I've been through the weber as well. All seems normal with no bl...

Okay...

So I replaced the coil - still idles and revs freely, but won't drive past sbout 2500rpm (bogs down) + configurator freezes

Ive replaced the edis - no change

My vr sensor is good and advance changes when I rev.


Sooooooo lost.

Drove the car again - still there after sorting the edis/vr earth thing.

Completely lost now.

Just ran her in the garage - didn't seem to hesitate or pop around the 2500 mark after the earth wire changes.

Should be able to drive her in the next day or so, & hopefully get racing on Sunday! :D

Try these as well! I tried to sort the 'screen freeze when I crank & run the engine' by trying configurator 3.3.1 with my 3.3.1 firmware. Last time with config 3.3.2 it froze instantly on cranking - this time it worked for a few seconds, then froze. The only way to unfreeze it was to pull the US...

Firmware upgrade DOS message

Hi, I've put this as a new post as I don't think its related to my other drama. I reinstalled the v3.3.1 firmware on my v3 mjlj to rule out my rough running issue (I use v3.3.2 configurator). Once the mjlj has been found, I get a different message - 'off key' rather than 'good'. (see attachment) Wil...

Dudes... Had some time tonight to look into this little drama. I went back over the Vr sensor as suggested. The gap between the head and the wheel is 0.2mm - too close? :?: The sensor mount was solid - so I went onto the shielding - I had the vr shielding going into pin 7 on the edis alone, with the...

Dudes, Thanks for the replies! Been running over this in my head all day at work. I did think over the crank sensor maybe getting some vibration around that 2500rpm mark - its solid on there & doesnt seem to resonate when I blip the carb with the bonnet off. Not sure if the crank sensor would ca...

Hi brent, Ive disconnected the mjlj and it runs the same. Im thinking this means the car is just running with 10 deg fixed advance, which the car doesnt like around 2500? When I rev the car in the garage, it only seems to pop & faulter at 2500ish - before and above that, all seems okay (as much ...

One thing to add... I reinstalled all the firmware to the mjlj using the hc08sprg etc etc, and when power goes on and you should get... Waiting for HC08 reset ACK...received 0xfc (good). I don't get 'good', I get something else - it was 11pm and 12 hours into it, so I can't remember what it was. *%$...

Existing setup giving misfire?

Hi, Ive had to miss my first race this season after a misfire & random communication issues between my v3.3.1 mjlj and the edis. It all ran fine with a good map before winter - but now misfires and won't drive above 2500rpm. She starts and idles fine, but I noticed the misfire when in the garage...

I had similar problems with my 1380 a series mini hillclimber. Swapping the 10 & 12 round on the EDIS meant it started on the first push of the button!

Sweeeet - great product, great site. It's all good.
