On the timing side, I decided to ditch the distributor and coil, and went up the modern BT-H magneto route.
These are lovely bits of kit! Beautifully made, and have all the benefits of modern electronic ignition, but inside a self generating magneto body.
No reliance on the alternator and battery to get me home!!
The magneto is a perfect fit, and looks great!
It's an absolute breeze to fit - just insert the locking pin on the magneto, rotate the engine to 38 degrees before top dead centre and then tighten the pulley on the end of the magneto down onto the taper (only the bottom one has a woodruff key - the top one relies on an interference fit).
