How to repair MSD ignition

  • There are two electrical components that failed on this box, one was an N Channel MOSFET and the other was a massive 6000 watt voltage suppressor diode to protect the circuit form back EMF discharge from the coil.
    Part #:IRF3205 (MOSFET)
    Part#:6ka24 (DIODE)
    I could not match the diode exactly so I subbed it with a 5kp24a and I went with an IRF3205 (the higher amp version) for a replacement MOSFET from Digikey. They seem to have worked perfectly so far. I have seen the repaired box fully functional installed on a vehicle and will be posting an update shortly once I have the new video.

    That was inspiring! Not many folks fix their stuff. Instead they shell out cash for a new one. I haven't purchased my ignition box yet. I'll be sure to watch for vibration and heat when installing. And now you have shown me something to look for if it fails. Thanks for posting.

    If your MSD box is not under warranty, you really got nothing to loose by opening it up and having a look. I know that there can be very big differences in these units based on when it was made. The circuitry changes probably based on serial numbers. All I did was look for fried components and then desoldered them and replaced them with the components listed in the description. If I were you, I would do that as well as it worked for me. You'll need to have the right tools and a decent understan

    Nice video and great insight into the issues with these. I just lost another one last week and at $400 every couple of years it is frustrating. Might take a shot at opening the failed one up and seeing if the internals are similar. I use the 6AL2 different connectors, but imagine the same base internals. Thanks again.

    YouWrasse IsMine , I know this video is old, but man, you are pretty slick! Where/how did you learn how to diagnose,,let alone fix an MSD box?? Man, I wish that I would have seen your wisdom years ago, because I've walked right on by BUNCHES of these ignition boxs! And I wish that I would have picked up one(would be nice in my DD 86 MR2), now that I might have a shot at repairing it!
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge! S.Rhudy

    Let me pick your brain. I got an older 6T and I've bench tested it same way you did except used a battery. Both triggers work the magnetic pickup and the white wire. I'm trying to install it on a gm 7 pin timing controlled modual. It's straight forward just bypass the pos and neg coming out the modual that goes to the coil easy peezy. Darn thing won't trigger the msd???? All the msd really needs is the neg out from the modual and it fires the coil just fine baffled.

    What is the part number for the burned transistor? My box had the same transistor burned up, but I can't read all of the numbers as they are burned off. What I can read is 70N10L..

    • @Th3mast3r69
      @Th3mast3r69  8 лет назад +1

      im not exactly sure what components your msd box has. if its the same as the one in the video, then the parts in the description will work. this repair continues to work to this day.

    No. They state specifically on their website that if it has been tampered with they won't fix it.

    is the MSD Ignition uses to replace the stock ignition or to amplify spark and improve performance? do i need to bypass the stock ignitor?

    • @sc2dave1
      @sc2dave1 6 лет назад

      It's better if you replace the stock ignition and use this box. Hotter, longer, many sparks

    Hello .. good night!
    Would you help me?
    When I connected my ignition module msd 6 al identical to the one you show in the video, when I installed it invez released in the coil a positive sign and a pulse , it is launching two positive signs in the coil.
    What could it be?
    How can I fix ?
    I would be immensely grateful if you could help me.
    Thanks in advance!

    I use it on the bike shown in my photo, an old BMW R100.
    The spark is very weak with the stock system.

    Hey man had mine burn up the other day. Mine fried the first transistor but it's burnt and I cannot read the numbers could you help me to find out what I need to order to fix it? I have the same exact msd box. 6 al my diode didn't fry because my ground wasn't hooked up I'm assuming idk

    There are several choices as far as quantity on digikey. If in fact you have the same problem this one had, order the parts that i list in the description on digikey and solder them in and it will fix it.
