It does not matter if the ignition is caused by a electrical spark or laser. The important thing is reliability. The motorcycle industry has been changing to coil-on-plug systems.

Using coil on plug you would have 4 coils on a 2 rotor. A single failure would only kill one plug.

If you've got a film building up on the rotor housing's chrome face= , aren't you behind the curve already? =A0I could see
