How good is the stock rotor with the rev limiter in it? Is it reliable, does do what it is supposed when it is supposed to consistently?
I am currently running a non-rev limited rotor, but found myself wishing for some sort of limiter at the last autocross as the valves were floating! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

John and Demick, thanks for your replies. My concern with limiting the revs comes from the faster portions of an AX course. I had a section last week where I probably needed third gear, but for all of about 200 feet. My thought is that I probably wasted more time going up to third and back down to second than I would have if I just kept it pegged at red line, and with so much else going on, I don't want to have to limit the revs myself, rather let some device do it.
Interesting point about the fuel continuing to flow, John. So, the limiting rotor just shuts down the spark completely untill centrifigual force slows down enough for it to contact the cap again - how does some of the other ignitions do it? Also, is there any problem with that rev limiting rotor and a Pertronix? |
