If you had one of the old style engines then you know that it is not simply an issue of replacing the ignition. The plug is different. You would also have to replace the cylinder head. The crank is different as well as the drive washer. So if you want to replace the ignition you have to replace all of those. Horizon is not out of Cylinder Heads, Cranks or Drive washers. THey are only out of ignitions. That is where I made my assumptions.
Not correct, I had both engines at the same time before I sent the GX1 back. They are identical including the plug and cap. I have heard that the most recent GX2 have a different plug though.
Those ignitions that horison had in stock was with the old plug (looking from the pics they had on the site at the time, I even considered purchasing one). Maybe they never had the new plug ignition in stock. Too many maybes to make assuptions in my humble oppinion.
As to crankshaft differences, that only applies to the 58 as far as I know.
I am very happy with my current engine, which is the reason for writing this, and would think it would be a shame if some opted for a diffent engine based on what
may be a few people having problems. I don't own stocks in Horizon (or unfortunately in any other company for that matter).
Edited for clarity.
