The last magneto I ran was a Scintella Vertex -on a blown Olds - back in 1957
So- I guess they have improved?
I am spoiled with just having to add choke , flip lazily a few times and go
I really did not think anyone used the mag stuff anymore.
Its actually CDI "capacitor discharge ignition" now. And yes they are MUCH imporved. Its a solid state unit that never requires maintenance, external power, or anything. It just always works like magic
