ignitions
I'm not really trying to convert anyone, but...
I have 3 nortons. 2 with ritas, one with a magneto. While I do own a "analog" boyer, I know how voltage sensative, and prone to lead breakage, they are. They are OK in my book but that's it, just OK.
The LR is fairly robust. After 15+ years, I have only ever had to fix 2. Yes they can be fixed unlike a boyer. One of these (not mine) was run on a 1 ohm dual coil for almost 16 years before it croaked.
The low voltage run capability of the LR is IMHO so superior for an E-Start. I have had at least 4 people come back to me after I warned them about boyer kick backs, that have trashed their sprag clutches. A LR WILL make spark if there is enough juice to crank the starter. A boyer turns into a "random spark generator" at those low voltages.
Thats enough for me,if you want to read up feel free.

All systems have their good and bad points. So I won't argue other facts that I have left out about any of these systems.
