It should be noted that even with dual electronic ignition a different drop
on the ignition check occurs when the timing is slightly off.  I was amazed
to see this.  My left ignition is currently firing a couple degrees late.
It (the left) is always first to foul if I fail to lean on the ground.  This
seems to emphasize that the second fired plugs (mag or elect) are doing
nothing and great care should be taken to match the timing.  It could also
be a misconstruing sales pitch.

Jim's point regarding separation of charging sources for dual batteries is
also very important.  One elegant charging solution I found includes using
my back up battery (3 amp gel cel) to back up my engine analyzer clock.  It
is charged by my engine analyzer which is 5 amp circuit protected.
