How do you test an electronic ignition control module?
Connect the ground lead from the 12-volt test light to the negative terminal on the ignition coil. Have your partner crank the engine over several times. Your test light should flicker on and off. If so, your module is working properly and no further testing is necessary.
How does the ECM bypass the ignition module?
When the engine speed exceeds 400 RPM, the ECM sends a BYPASS signal to the ignition module which switches the timing to ECM control. The ECM calculates what the timing should be then “tells” the ignition module via the EST circuit. An open or ground in the EST circuit will stall the engine and set a Code 42.
Is there a way to bypass the controller?
If you put a switch in parallel with the controller on the positive wire, to bypass the controller, you might be able to get more speed. Will it burn out your motor? Possibly. However if you are going more than 10 miles per hour it will probably be ok.
How does the electronic ignition control module work?
The electronic ignition control module is a solid state “On/Off” switch for the ignition system. The module receives a signal from a sensor inside the distributor. The signal is then used to fire the ignition coil creating the energy for the spark plugs.
How do I by pass the electric controller?
Don’t bypass while standing still or moving slow and you will reduce the risk of motor or controller damage. Ok, that’s the start of a plan. Seems like the risk is not worth the benefit. as the switch idea is not practical for riding. any idea where i could get a controller that will turn on at a set speed ?

What does the Eaton bypass power module do?
Providing maintenance bypass for rack and wall-mount form factors. The Eaton BPM comes equipped with local outlets to enable an IT manager to add, remove or reconfigure PDUs throughout the lifecycle of the installation.
