I ran the same ignitor for 3 seasons with no problems. I did screw it up
once and lost all the magnets from the wheel I puuled it off the dis. post
and they scattered but manage to collect them all and putem back in but
lost spark on to pistons so I re did the mangnet aray and kept the
polarity in the same direction and it worked out fine. rob
