Wiring in an Omex Limiter

[24sevenslacker]

on the instructions it says:

Black wire-Positive

Red wire-Negative

Blue wire-Earth

now i am not the brightest of people, so to avoid causing a massive FAIL i am asking the question on here. do these connect straight to the two terminals on my coil pack? obviously + and -. i didnt know if the coil pack had to be dismantled and these wires connected internally? help much appreciated.

if i remember i will take a couple of pics and upload them tomorrow if that helps, cheers

Yes they just go straight to the terminals, have you got a coil pack specific rev limiter though...?

[24sevenslacker]

what do you mean?

[mk1nova_rich]

Omex sell different versions of the limiter specific to single coil, twin coil, and coilpack

[24sevenslacker]

right, aah this could be a problem. my nova is running the cav setup on carbs so which would this be?

[mk1nova_rich]

Cav 1.6 dizzy...?! That would be single coil :thumb:

[24sevenslacker]

that would be the one, what would happen if i connected it up an it was the wrong type, would it just not work or would it effect or damage the coil?

[mk1nova_rich]

the limiter works by cutting the spark to the engine, so the operation varies on how the spark is given to the engine (twin coil, single coil etc) so I doubt it would damage anything, just wouldn't function properly

[24sevenslacker]

ill give it a try then, if it doesnt work ill just ebay it and get the correct one, thanks for your help mate +rep

[24sevenslacker]

looked on the instructions and it says that it works with different ignition types, confused :S

[MK1_Ben]

I would presume it would work universally then.

As said, give it a try.

Is this any good to you? >LINK (http://www.omextechnology.co.uk/Revlimiters/revlimiterdownloads.htm)<

[24sevenslacker]

link isnt working mate. gonna fit it tomorrow and see if it works, will get some pictures uploaded, thanks for the help lads

[Southie]

:confused: It worked yesterday, all it was was the instruction manual showing the single and twin coil, you've probably got them anyway.

[24sevenslacker]

just tried had it wired up, but im getting no ignition, took the limiter off and i had ignition again....? does this mean it is the wrong 1?

[24sevenslacker]

its the single coil 1 anyway just looked at your link. done everything correctly as it says in the manual but exactly as above

[24sevenslacker]

can any1 enlighten me?

[24sevenslacker]

bump

[MK1_Ben]

Happened with mine, means you've got the wires the wrong way around :)

Also reset the omex (says how to in the manual) before you try using it.

[24sevenslacker]

tried that, but the led's dont light up?

[MK1_Ben]

LED's should light up regardless of the way the wires are :\

Definitely wiring it into the coil correct? and are you sure you have the correct Omex for your engine?

[24sevenslacker]

sorted it, swapped the wires round and it worked. its ace, you get some big flames and bangs out the back. unfortunately i managed to snap the LED off by accident so im gonna have to solder it back on, ill put pics up on my WIP when i get time.

[Spudly]

Ham fisted git, and properly lol @ you getting flames out, she is gonna be a beasty when she comes back out:thumb:

[24sevenslacker]

I nearly burst my ear drums at first when I was setting it up, I took it down to the minimum limit (3000) and gave it a rev and it just went wild lol

Don't really like it there buddy :)

I have mine inside the glovebox, with the switch itself in the steering wheel, nice and discreet and stops the sun visor looking like a lumpy pillow.

[24sevenslacker]

Like I said iv only just put it in so when I get time I'm gonna neaten it up and stop it looking like a blown up pillow lol
