Robert Dickinson Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Aluminium air intake trumpet, ( attaches to Solex 48 nnip carb) distributer and leads this is for a jag xk engine I have in a boat thanks. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have the trumpet, which you can have for postage cost. I'm afraid I can't help with dizzy and leads. Marcus Glenn may have them. Green machine also worth a try, or Richard at Banisters... Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel1 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have distributor and leads, will double check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dickinson Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Timbo thanks for that, that's great news, as I'm quite new to Forum I'm not sure how to private message you. i would like to accept your offer and pay for postage, I am very grateful. SO 529 LW. Postcode. Let me know and I will pay immediately Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Rob, is your boat 24volt? If not I think you’d be better off with a standard civilian electronic distributor and leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dickinson Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thanks Sorry to those who have offered dizzy and leads, but I've made the mistake of the 12v/24v difference, I do apologise. ITS ALL A LEARNING CURVE. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 No worries Rob I’ve sent you a message with my number. Let me know if you can’t see it. You should be able to get to your messages in your account section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Surely you can run the J60 screened distributor system with a 12 v supply by removing the resistor in the junction box. Then it would have electronic and waterproof ignition. The problem would be the starter but you might be able to get a 12 v one of the same type.

Robert Dickinson Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi i have a 12v system in the boat, I think someone was saying the J60 would not work as it is 24v do you think it’s an easy conversion to 12v then ? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The manual says the electronic ignition is 24v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1212 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Before you dismiss J60 24V ignition if otherwise the best option for a boat as sealed so waterproof consider providing a 24V supply from 12V. I have absolutely no idea what the current draw of ignition is but I presume there are very brief high current spikes. Just as a starting point something like this https://www.meanwell-web.com/en-gb/dc-dc-enclosed-converter-input-9-5-18vdc-output-sd--100a--24 followed by a large capacitor connected through a diode so the capacitor can not backfeed the DC/DC converter and a low value series resistor to limit the surge. A trawl of the 'net ought to find where somebody has tried this idea and if they succeeded or failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
