Crismedicatrix,

I converted my US41 some years back. Bought a CH Ignition and installed it myself. No problem. I estimate 10-12 ozs. saved with the ignition battery pack. You HAVE TO remove the spring starter as it cannot be used with electronic ignition, but as stated above, you don't need it. Easy hand starts.

I disagree with above statement. There is no noticable performance improvement at the top end. There is a smoother, more reliable idle.

You won't get much weight shift by moving the ignition battery pack back, 'cause you will start getting too close (stay at least 11" away) to radio gear. Can't move the ignition module back. It has a short spark lead and doesn't weigh anything anyway.

Have fun!
