POINT SAVER THINGY ?

[illinilefttackle 399]

:USA: This thing sounds like a good thing. I read the spiel, if it works like they say it does-it could be a good thing. Has anyone tried this thingy? Transistor ignition has come of age in the Auto industry-Why not Kohlers too?

Hotter spark? Let's hear your opinions-OK?-AL

That's David Kirk's website... He's well known on the IH side of the lines.... the Cub guys highly recommend his Point Saver. I would assume he doesn't list his phone number because it's just a side business for him... he's got a day job.

Any questions you can email to David@kirkengines.com

Here's another guy who sells the exact same thing... although I've never heard of him. He does have a phone number.

You have a problem, Kelly.

What do you do if you really like it? Then you'll have to buy about 25 more for the other tractors!

That sounds great...please let me know how ur install goes. is it easier then breacker points? ,timing ect......im have like 3 kohler engines imite considering puting them on. but id like to here some honest feedback from redsquare guys

Seems like a decent idea and the price is really reasonable. I guess it would make the most sense on a machine that regularly gets lots of hours.

Keep us posted.

BTW, Kohler had their own K-series electronic ignition from 1969 to ???. Not sure why they stopped offering it, but they were ahead of the times. :banghead:
