Ya know, now that you ask, and I start thinking, I think I probably ruined the old one. I never looked into the voltage range, and assumed( like a bonehead) that it was like most of the other ignitions I've had and would be fine. The IBEC is a Tech Aero, and was set at 6V. I NOW see that that is too high for that ignition. Oops. Learn something every day, hind sight is always...yada yada. I replaced it with an Rc Excel from Milton at RCXP.
