TYTRONIC installation on CB/CL 72/77

Post by David M. Lyon » Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:01 am

I have a short video on YouTube of how to install the TYTRONIC ignition kit. The original instructions are impossible to follow so I made a set of instructions that might help you and a wiring diagram.

From the Tytronics web site:
- Quick and simple installation that is easier than installing a set of points!
- the best, simplest, and most complete installation instructions in the industry.
It's amazing how much marketing can change one's perspective.

Tytronic Electronic Ignition problems

Thank you for posting these instructions!

I installed a Tytronic Electronic Ignition on my 1965 CA77.... used the instructions supplied, not good but would get someone in the right direction.... i also used these which was a lot easier to understand.

After mounting and wiring everything up, it did not work :-(

Using a Test light to set timing, the light stays on the whole time. I was wondering if that was just a fluke, so i spun the motor and no spark at all.

Just messaged "Old_Honda" on Ebay. Going back to points for now so i can ride when the rain stops.

It is frustrating that i had to wait 2 weeks to get this from China then it was a bad one.

hopefully better luck next time.
