With apologies first of all because I can see that there are very many threads on this subject but as a relative newbie it is all pretty bewildering!

I have now got my 1979 Green Mirage running sweetly on Mikuni RS36 carbs. The difference is staggering and the bike really goes well particularly above 5000 RPM. However, the slightest "normal" light fouling of the plugs - caused mainly be slow traffic or idling - means the thing will not start again after stopping. Putting in a fresh set of plugs does the trick but the ones removed are not that dirty. Spark when tested looks very weak to me.

Is there something I can fit to improve the spark on the ignition system?
 
Replace with a Redax system.-
This includes a new 250 Watt alternator, new r/r and Ignitech ignition system with new coils too.
Best money you will spend on the bike.

Contact him via the forum (Redax)

Everybody gushes about the system as the most worthwhile investment you can make - 8/10 Laverda owners can't be wrong, can they?

So far it even seems quite straightforward to install, although still fiddly and leading to skinned knuckles here and there.

price difference is mainly which system is being replaced, HKZ replacement includes Nology Pro-Fire coils, new spark plug leads, extra CNC bracket, etc
BTZ system does not include the coils

currency exchange fluctuations also affect the price for overseas buyers, we sell in Australian $'s
nothing I can do about the English pound jumping all over the place depending on which politician makes a statement on Brexit
