richmondred01 2,237 #1 Posted May 29, 2021 I decided to test out the transdenser 2 made by Overnight Solutions LLC and distributed through Kirk engines. How does it work? Think of the Transdenser II as a high-performance/high-voltage relay. Breaker-points in a conventional ignition system make and break 3 to 4 amps of current depending on the coil resistance. This leads to their ultimate demise. The Transdenser II takes the heavy lifting from the points and places it on an IGBT semiconductor, thus dropping the breaker-point current to a preset 160mA, or 0.16A. Two thumbs up for me so far. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the obvious of increased points life are there other benefits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this point, all my equipment have rebuilt Kohler engines. I’ll have to try it on an engine with 500 -1000 hours to see any additional benefits.

Tuneup 1,433 #4 Posted May 30, 2021 I have a similar setup on my old Honda. It uses the standard breaker points to trigger the circuit. Since you can 'shape' the way the circuit behaves, you can maximize the coil output. They make perfect sense if they are well made. I've got about 1,000 miles on it over about 5 years. Made by a local engineer who knows what he's doing and the big plus of these is that you can just bypass them to the original point trigger if the circuit goes bad. Handy in the fields or in the Alabama wilderness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
