We have developed a prototype electronic ignition that is a drop in
replacement for the M9 magneto. The reason for the development is that there
is a short supply of m( magnetos and their replacement parts. I do not
expect it will effect the fuels used.

Subject: M14PEngines-List: E Ignition
I'm told there is an electronic ignition in the works for the M-14P. Can
anyone educate me here? One of the questions I have is if using electronic
ignition will have an impact on type of fuel that can be used.

We've been flying on mogas STCs for many years, and luckily we have not
encountered the fuel issues you've outlined. We only have one company
that sells blended fuel.
Avgas is $4/g more expensive here (BC) than 91 purple farm gas (pretty
sad for an oil producing nation), and given the 100-150 hrs/yr or more
we expect to fly, it makes a huge difference.
Re the ignition, hate to admit it, ahem, but as long standing flat
engine types, we're a bit intimidated by all the sparks and smoke and
oil etc, LOL. My dad is 68, is not a passionate monkeywrencher and has
decades flying flat engines and wants things as simple as possible. The
possibility of starting an engine backwards doesn't thrill him. Me, I
am a monkeywrencher and don't care either way, I just badly need a
bigger a/c on floats that's relatively cheap to fly and our third is a
pressure welder and HD mechanic who hates the idea of even going to
EFIS/EMS and is going to give me flak for looking into the electronic
ignition. However, my father is contributing his M5 on floats toward
the project so he calls the shots.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated.
