Electronic ignition

[nevhunter]

I don't recall ever owning an English Bike that was Coil ignition. The Lead acid batteries had a rather short life, and Jo Lucas's generators needed attention fairly often. Recommended return to factory each 8000 miles. BTH were a superior Magneto. and Maybe Lucas KLI (racing ) I'm working on one now. The Morse magneto is the Best of the Bunch. Rotating Magnet. Nev

In defence of the magneto, I own a 1989 new fangled rotary Norton. In my 30 years of ownership it has had 4 replacement electronic ignition units, the last of which has been returned to the manufacturer twice for repair and is faulty again. The magneto on my 70 year old VH never causes trouble. With points and coil you do stand a chance of repair, Progress apparently.
