Electronic ignition for a Ural motorcycle: installation, configuration

Mechanical or electronic

Initially, these motorcycles had mechanical ignition. Unlike BSZ, this option has low reliability. The reason is in the mechanical elements of the structure; they wear out over a certain mileage, which leads to regular failures. And you have to adjust the ignition on the Ural motorcycle much more often

The electronic ignition system on a motorcycle does not have such problems. There are practically no interacting elements here. Therefore, the service life is significantly longer. Also, thanks to improved spark formation, there are fewer problems with engine operation. The owner is also relieved of the need to regularly clean the contacts. All this leads to the massive spread of BSZ on this model.

Electrical equipment

M 67-36 “Ural” retained the 12-volt electrical equipment system implemented on its predecessor. It should be noted that up to the M 67, 6-volt electrical equipment was used on IMZ motorcycles. Increasing the voltage made it possible to equip motorcycles with modern lighting equipment of international standard at that time. In addition, they introduced a more powerful 150-watt generator G-424 with a current regulator PP-330. Otherwise, the electrical equipment remained the same.

Features of the electronic system

If you prefer to service your motorcycle with your own hands, then this ignition for the Urals will be an ideal option for you. It is much easier to maintain. There is no need to adjust the gaps on the contacts, which significantly reduces the time of service work. Also, the ignition timing does not change during operation.

Also, a huge advantage of this ignition option for a Ural motorcycle is that the spark plugs last longer. Thanks to more efficient spark formation, the load on them is significantly less.

Immediately after installing the new unit, you will notice an increase in engine efficiency. Fuel consumption is reduced and it becomes more responsive on the road. Also important is the absence of problems at low temperatures and wet weather.

This type of motorcycle assembly consists of the following elements:

Hall sensors;
Modulator of magnetic field into electric discharge;
Ignition coil;
Switch for distribution of spark charges;
High-voltage wires, terminals, fasteners.

Actually, any BSZ consists of these elements, you can also read the article Izh Planet 5, ignition adjustment, there is also information on this topic.

Contactless ignition systems

Not so long ago you could only find a homemade device. The reason is the lack of proper supply in stores. Craftsmen in garages remade the contactless unit from other motorcycle models and assembled it from individual parts. This is a rather complex activity that requires skills. Now you can purchase a ready-made kit without any problems.

There are many advantages to using ready-made products. At a minimum, they have been tested in the Urals, which guarantees reliable operation. It is also much easier to install a ready-made unit than to make it yourself. The following sets can be found on the market:

"SoveK". Under this brand you can find regular contactless ignition, as well as a more advanced microprocessor ignition. The assembly can be supplied with or without a bobbin. Easy to install and practically does not respond to voltage changes;
"Saruman." Quite an interesting and reliable assembly. There are two sensor options available here; there can be a conventional Hall sensor, or a modern optical one. There is protection against voltage surges, especially high current. To simplify setting the ignition, there is a light indication.

Using ready-made kits is currently the best option.

Minsk MMVZ-3.112.1 and MMVZ-3.112.11 (Universal and Enduro)

Station wagon and Enduro The scope of motorcycles has recently shifted from highways, from the streets of large cities and is increasingly gravitating towards rural areas, small towns and villages. “Behind the Wheel” has addressed this problem more than once (1985, No. 7; 1986, No. 4 and No. and addressed it to the motorcycle industry. For our part, we, the workers of the Minsk Motorcycle and Bicycle Plant, based on the responses of consumers living in rural areas, felt that the time had come to develop a special modification for them, called enduro. Universal motorcycle MMVZ-3.112.1. Now our plant, along with the basic universal-purpose model (MMVZ-3.112.1), has also begun to produce its “rural” modification (MMVZ-3.112 .11).Both of them have retained the traditional advantages of the brand - simplicity of design and maintenance, unpretentiousness in operation and are largely similar in design. The two-stroke engine runs on a low-temperature mixture...

What will the Minsk M-105 be like? Minsk is getting stronger

What the Minsk M-105 will be like This is what the new Minsk M-105 motorcycle will look like. The Minsk Motorcycle Plant is preparing for production of a new lightweight road motorcycle M-105.
Outwardly, it is similar to its predecessor M-104, but differs significantly in the main mechanisms. Essentially a new engine has been created, more reliable and durable thanks to the installation of a bearing with a cage in the lower head of the connecting rod. The connecting rod and upper piston pin have been strengthened. The 303 series will be used as main bearings. All this, according to the designers’ calculations, will increase the service life of the main components of the motorcycle by 2.5-3 times. The use of a new K-36M carburetor, improvement of the intake and exhaust system, and an increase in the compression ratio (up to 8.0) made it possible to increase engine power to 7 hp. With. Maximum speed is 80 km/h. The transmission has also undergone changes. The drive drum has larger splines, and the clutch discs are covered with friction compound linings. For the first time, a four-speed gearbox was used on Minsk motorcycles... Read more >>

Electric arc from battery

Electric arc welding from a battery on the road The following advice will also be useful for motorcyclists.
One day, while on the road, my car suddenly began to lose speed, “shots” were heard from the muffler, and the engine was literally choking on gasoline. The reason was quickly determined - an increased level of gasoline in the carburetor float chamber. After removing the float, I made sure that there was gasoline in it. Having removed it using hot water drained from the radiator, I found a small fistula in the place where the halves of the float were soldered. I decided to fix the problem using an electric arc. Instead of an electrode, I used a simple drawing pencil, sharpened on both sides. A stripped wire was tightly wound around one end of its rod and connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Having pressed the float to the “ground” on the body (away from the battery and gas lines, so as not to cause a fire), lightly touching the second end of a pencil to the float created a satisfied...

Selection of candles

The contactless system has certain requirements for candles. If they are faulty or do not fit a specific motor, then you will not get any positive effect from using this system.

Be sure to check the condition of the spark plugs. They should not have soot. It is optimal if the electrode has a sand color. If necessary, replace the spark plugs; when selecting, pay attention to the heat rating. When the spark plugs are in order, the electronic ignition can be installed.

Installation

Now you can install a new ignition system for the Ural motorcycle. Before starting work, dismantle the old BSZ. Installation is carried out in the following order:

We install a new coil, here you will need a connection diagram, otherwise problems will arise further;
We install the ignition module; it should be secured so that it is directed towards the coil.
The engine rotor is installed in the position at which the ignition is adjusted.

Now you have a contactless ignition system installed, all you have to do is configure it to achieve optimal performance. Please note that setup here is only required once. In fact, you already know how to install the BSZ.

Settings

Now we adjust the ignition timing. We install the motor in accordance with the marks, connect all the wires. Next you need to adjust the position of the sensors. Next, we attach all the elements and check for sparking. If everything is fine, then you should drive 10-20 kilometers and check the set angle again.

If necessary, adjustments are made, but if everything is done correctly, this will not be necessary. Knowing how to do contactless ignition on your motorcycle, you will not wonder how much this work costs in a workshop.

How to setup?

Please: Enter in the search - setting up BSZ SovEk, read and configure. I’m embarrassed to ask - my faith doesn’t allow me.

What kind of century? Microprocessor or regular?

Most likely ordinary)) Packaging is not at home(

So, is your curtain rigidly fixed on the shaft or just bolted on? Is there a red light on the switch?

Yes, on one, except for those for adjustment. No, there is no light bulb.

I have no idea what Sovek is, but I guess it’s like Oskol.

You are looking for TDC (or TDC) on the flywheel. You install everything that can be installed, orient the curtain with a mark (if there is one towards the sensor). No tag - put it as it is! You install the curtain completely, the block that is screwed to the crankcase is not rigid. Turn on the power and apply voltage to the ignition. You rotate the block back and forth by hand (quite sharply) and it should produce a spark. It breaks through - GREAT! If it doesn’t break through, rotate the flywheel +/- 5 degrees (by eye), in this way we look for the ignition timing. no spark!? — Turn over the curtain on the distributor. Just take it off, turn it 180 degrees and put it on. Repeat the same thing.

There is a spark - Gut! Slowly rotate the flywheel with a kick or a screwdriver and check the spark by rotating the block back and forth. When the spark disappears, we notice the position of the curtain relative to the block. The more accurately you find it, the easier it will be to configure it later. (You can scratch it with a screwdriver) - this is the Ignition Timing according to the Curtain and Block - then again the MH or TDC on the flywheel. The MH on the Ignition is a little (at least a little) later than TDC or the MH on the Flywheel and tighten it.

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah. If there is no light bulb, then this is the Ukrainian analogue of our Stary Oskol. One of the ways to configure it has already been described above. Good luck

You will be surprised, but there is also no light bulb on the old shard. The control LED is only available on Uktus or Sarumanka.

I won't be surprised. I used Oskol for quite a long time myself.
