Heres the Ignition I got....

I believe it is an auto advancing model. I'm not exactly sure how that works or what it exactly it does. I did however spend more time playing and tuning last night and tried retarding the magnet more on the hub and it did seem to idle better and still started ok. My starting,which isnt terrible mind you......could have some to do with simple needle tuning too.
But yes,if someone could explain in detail this auto advancing feature on these ignitions,that would be great.
