Does anyone have the installation manual for the Martek RD electronic ignition?

Took me awhile, finally found your e-mail address and sent the Martek instructions.

Thanks for the replies.  Looking forward to perusing the instructions and figuring out which bike to put the system in.

So I finally have the engine in the motorcycle and am ready to wire up the ignition.  It's an RD350 so there's no white/red wire or ballast resistor.  By looking at the picture of the wiring in the instructions it seems that the black wire will go to the red/black wire.

Can anyone confirm this for me?  I plan on testing the system tomorrow.  Hopefully everything works as it was found buried in the shop.

So...wired everything up.  Works like a charm.  Yay!  Now to figure out which direction the build will go as that determines what pipes go on the bike.

I had one of these way back in the day. They are unreliable and the engine will run backwards if your at at an idle.

Spec ii or Garrett's pipes
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.

Thanks @quocle603

I have stock, Bassani, and some unknown pipes that came with a parts bike.  Right now I'm leaning towards the Bassani.  I'm going to test fit them tomorrow if time permits.
