Hello all!
First and foremost I’m not very savvy when it comes to circuitry so i thought you guys could possibly help me out.
I am building a CDI triggering mechanism that should collapse the ignition coil when the points open up. That’s the idea anyways; I got plans from this web site: **broken link removed**
So I went ahead and made this, and it works for a little while then blows the transistor. I put a new transistor on then it will work for half a minute just to blow again. I’m not sure the cause of this as my base voltage has a resistor on it.
I’m in over my head but do you guys see any obvious reason why this would happen?
Thanks for your time,
James
Here is a link what i have made, i cant figure out hot to post a picture: https://imgur.com/rtwdeSk
