| Subject: | Re: Magneto upgrade? |
SureFly sounds like a good option but I now understand it too requires a power
supply. I like the simplicity of a magneto as my backup ignition given one electronic
ignition provides about 95% of the benefit compared to dual electronic
ignitions and no backup battery required. Im now leaning toward reverting to
a Slick mag again as it appears the E mag is 4 cylinder only from what I can see.
