Electronic Ignition Module

How reliable are elecronic ignition modules for our 750's?

My 76F had an old ( i believe they are no longer made) Martek electronic ignition in it when I got it. The bike had sat for 7 years when I got it and the ignition was 5 years old then. I have put almost 10,000 miles on it since I got it with no problems at all. My chopper has a Dyna in it that was installed...who knows when,but the bike sat from 1987 til a month ago when i got it running. I have only put a little over 700 miles on that bike,but it is doing well.

The name ''electronic ignition'' is actually pretty misleading. All they are is a magnetic pickup. The rotor that mounts to the end of the crank has a magnet in it that pulls a switch closed when it passes by the modlues which causes the coils(s) to pulse. They are extremely simple devices.

I was thinking that the overheating problems with the points ignition when they get out of tune could be avoided by using electronic ignition.  Glad to hear that they are reliable.

dyno ignitions are excellent.
