D&B 5.1 Twin Ignition Conversion
I purchased a D&B 5.1 twin and it has the older ignition that is built into the backplate of the engine. It is designed to operate on 4.8 volts and does not have shielded plug leads. I can upgrade to D&B's replacement 6 volt ignition for a whopping $180 that still does not have shielded plug wires but I am being told that is not an issue.
I can convert to a Rcexl unit for about $70. I have done many Rcexl conversions so it should be a "no brainer".
The D&B engines are top of the line but $180 for a new ignition?
Any other D&B 5.1 owners out there willing to offer up some advice?
Who has the better ignition? Rcexl (China ) or CH Ignition (USA )
