[Alberg30] Electronic Ignition

[Crufone at aol.com]

Peter,
I am a mechanic.  I don't see the need for the electronic ignition update on 
a flat head farm tractor engine.......which is what the Atomic 4 is.  I have 
updated engines with electronic ignition systems for performance reasons, but 
not for dependability reasons.  Performance is not an issue with a 25-30 HP,  
1800 RPM crusing engine, reliability is.

My advice as a Sailor and a Mechanic,  Keep the stock ignition system clean, 
(dirt and grease attact and absorb moisture, the foil of any ignition 
system), use a silicone spray treatment after the wires and cap are clean, 
keep the engine tuned up, drain the carburetor and the tank when not in use 
for extended times, use an alcohol water absorbing fuel treatment reqularly, 
and most importantly  save your hard earned dollars for new sails not 
electronic ignition systems.

New to the list and soon to be an A30 owner,

Michael Connolly
