I"m with you. I was a big proponent for them until the one I had for 5 years crapped out for no good reason. I just don"t like futzing with points when I have other work to do with the tractor. And I hate to have a machine I can not get on and turn the key and have it start. I bought the Pertronix to elimate the maintanence with a point ignition system. They are certaimly not going to improve engine performance relative to a properly adjusted points ignition but I hoped to not ever have to install and adjust points again. No need for me to keep this "old skill" alive! I did the tests and found that the module was bad and it was out of warranty. I bought a new module and that crapped out about 6 months later under warranty. While I was waiting for the new module to be delivered I switched back to the points and I haven"t changed. For something as simple as they are, I am disappointed in the reliability. Maybe they started making them in the "land of almost right". When something more reliable comes out I might go back to EI for the same reasons I bought a Pertronix.
