That was my lame attempt at humor...

Yes, the G-45 has the stock flywheel -mag ignition..about the only thing that will keep it from working properly, is a wreck. The largest advantage I see to an EI is, it smooths out the idle on the Zenoahs.....Though reliable as sunrise, the Zs are real shakers at idle.
The EI is also somewhat lighter, and allows flip starts...
