Músicastage Retard:

This feature allows for a single stage of timing retard, commonly used with nitrous oxide systems or for fine-tuning top-end performance. Ensure proper calibration to avoid engine damage.

Start Retard:

The start retard function reduces ignition timing during cranking, making starting easier and reducing stress on the starter motor and flywheel. This feature is automatically engaged during engine start-up.

Manutenção

The MSD Digital 6-Plus Ignition Control is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure continued optimal performance.

  • Inspeção de fiação: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose terminals. Ensure all connections remain secure.
  • Limpeza da unidade: Keep the unit clean and free of excessive dirt, oil, or debris. A clean unit allows for better heat dissipation.
  • Segurança de montagem: Verify that the unit remains securely mounted and that mounting hardware is tight.
