RE: does ryobi have to be converted to electronic ignition?
no you can run the magneto that came on the engine you dont really even have
to cut the fins off the flywheel but it gets rid of weight and air resistance .Pete at
wacker engines can help with your parts needs and machining.The advantage
of electronic ignition is removal of about a pound of weight (flywheel&magneto are
removed for cd ignition) its also expensive.
