Nova 2 ignition

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used this nova 2 system? How are you mounting them? I tried one on my 725 because i believed it had a condenser going bad and it fixed the issues. Also put one on my b10 that i believed had a carburetor problem at first and it ran better than it ever had. So far pretty impressed with them.

I have one on an ancient rototiller with a tiny (2-3hp) B&S. Wiring was dead simple except ... the spade connectors aren't reversible; they work one way but not the other. For that reason, I mounted mine on the outside tin. Works Great!

I have 2 landlord2110's, one has the nova, the other doesn't-YET. It' the best thing I did, putting this on. I was constantly cleaning & adjusting points before nova2. I have  had no problems since installation in 2010. I had to adjust spark pug gap cause of spark knock. You'll never look back.

What would you recommend for a gap?

I have used three of these on old Stihl chainsaws where you can't get points and condensers any longer. Absolutely no problems with the spark since installation. I would use them anytime I can.

Two 10 horse Kohler K series, 1 10 horse, 1 12 horse and 1 16 horse cast iron Briggs. I guess I have 5 installed. Great product.

You had room to mount these modules inside the original saw case without issue?  Did you need to remove any components?

On big old chainsaws there's usually some room inside the case to mount them where the points used to be, but on a Stihl 015 there was no room in the case so I had to mount the unit on the outside and run the wire inside.  It still works fine.

My NovaII installed on a Bumblebee 10. Has its quirks but starts every time (battery is up) and fires like its supposed to. I have an ample supply of new points and condensers on the shelf as well but NovaII requires no adjustment.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
