If you're using regular mags you might consider a SlickSTART before you start re-plumbing your airplane: http://www.unisonindustries.com/ourproducts/slickmagnetosandharnesses.html#slickstart I bought one of these 5 or 6 years ago and have not had single failure to start since installing it. My airplane now starts as reliably as my Toyota. The SlickSTART is only energised while the starter is cranking so it has no affect on engine performance. It will fire the plugs no matter what. Hot, cold, flooded, frosted, oil fouled, whatever... your engine will start. I think I paid about $300 for it. 30 minutes to install. -- Ron Laughlin Legacy N44L (res)
