I have a 96 adventurer. I have read some articles on the web that suggest the early igniter boxes have a loop back wire that can be cut to increase the rev limit.

Here is a quote of the article I found "There are two rev limiters in the original 900 black box. A 900 pulls the plug at 9700 rpm. Cutting this limiter(wire) moves it up to 11000 rpm ment for the short stroke 750/1000 engines. The 900 will be very happy with this extra headroom to play with and so will you."

Does anyone know which wire this is? my wires are all bundled together coming from the igniter box, I suppose I'll need to break this open?

Which igniter boxes are available to replace mine, just in case I cant find this wire?

Don't know about the wire, but your Adventurer cuts out even lower - at 8500 RPM I think? I picked up an S3 ignitor box to up the revs to 9700 RPM.

The box is easy to break open, but I'd be careful about cutting any wires unless I had a spare!

If I remember correctly... The wire you're looking for is the looped wire that connects two pins on the connector. That external loop isn't found on the newer Gill boxes.
