MicroSquirt.com read only forum (Jan.15,2018)

Hello List,
I am new here and relatively new to electronics as well.

I have however bought a MicroSquirt unit from DIY in hope to figure out a way to run the ignition (only) of a 1998 Volkswagen jetta engine which I have retrofitted from EFI to carbs. This engine has a missing tooth wheel 60-2 (on the crankshaft) and an ignition distributor originally controlled by the stock ECU. I hope to be able to set up the Microsquirt unit as simply as it would be humanly possible and I wonder if someone here could offer some advice (other than read the manual) to get me started.

Thanks.

That should be simple enough. The manual section on missing tooth wheels covers the settings needed:

Running ignition only is fairly straightforward. There are no ignition-only specific settings, but you can just leave the fuel outputs disconnected.

Thanks Matt for your guidance.
Happy New Year.
