Status: offline 		I am keenly interested in the Brison 3.2 for the Wild Hare Ultimate I just received. There are two ignition options available, mechanical timing advance or fully electronic. I would appreciate input regarding the operation, or your perceptions as to which is better and why.

Thanks in advance...

Status: offline 		I have the mechanical advance and it's worked great for years... About the only issue of which I know concerns timing the engine if you ever remove the carb. Since the mechanical linkage for the advance comes off the throttle arm subtle changes in its position can alter the timing. It is a simple matter to adjust the linkage length to compensate and fix the timing. A friend of mine has successfully done this on his 3.2...

Status: online 		I have never had the electronic, but also have never had any problems with all my mechanicals(5 so far). If I buy another, it will be mechanical. because I can fine tune it.
