WS8 Primary and Secondary Igniton Patterns

Firing Voltage 45V
Burn Voltage 12V
Burn Time 1.4ms
Dwell time 4ms

This picture of the primary waveform is very important. It tells you many things. For example it can show you that one cylinder has a high resistance, by having a very high firing voltage. It can tell you other information such as the burn time. This will show you how long it takes to burn the fuel while its in the cylinder.


This video shows the engine doing a snap acceleration. The oscilliscope is measuring the secondary pattern.
Using a spark tester on the 1st cylinder I increased the gap so that it would require more voltage to jump the gap. As you can see in the picture, the voltage went off the chart. This shows you that the slightest resistance in any wire will ultimately effect your ignition in the cylinder.
