Title: 123ignition and spring
Post by: rjfurlan on August 30, 2015, 14:09:14

Sorry to bring this topic up again, but do I need a longer spring or not? Every other post says the opposite. My current feeling is just pull out the 051 and put in the 123, then time it. I believe 123 recommend not adding a longer spring. Thanks

rjfurlan,

The link that Hauser provided is probably the most direct and specific information you may find.  I was also quite confused, so I posed the "spring" question to Ed at 123IgnitionUSA --- give him a call if you plan on purchasing from him.  He was clearly against putting in a longer spring.  He sent me a photo of a problem very similar to what Andy (in the link Hauser provided) experienced. 

I cannot provide my specific experience as the 123 has only been running for about 2000 miles on the 280.  I left the original shorter spring in place based on the information from Ed --- time will tell if I should have gone with a longer spring.

Hello All
Use the same design spring but around 2cm long.
I didi it and it fits perfectly.
Best regards.
