Hey Guy's anybody ever used Anwser Roost Boost ignition system?? It seems they were for the earlier 500's. E-bay has one for my 87 500. Just want to know what this items does.

I purchased one and it did absolutely nothing. I ran it for a week and gave it away. :-) I believe it curves the timing or gives a little more spark. Either way, did no good and was dead weight.. :-) Save the $$$ and get PVL.  :twisted:

Thanks. It was on e-bay and I was going to bid if it would help. I think my stock ignition will work fine for now.

Back in the 80's when it came out I remember them claiming that it gave a longer spark duration.
