[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 110545, member: 59"] I have taken on board a throwaway comment from Vibrac about coil ignition causing backfires as it is switched on. The electric starter on my big Comet has eaten several sprags possibly caused by turning the ignition on. The Lucas Rita system was superceded by Lucas Moira which turned itself off if the engine was not running and turned itself back on once the engine was rotated. This magneto-like feature would seem to make the system safer for users of electric starts. Can the Power Arc system be programmed to operate this way or to make the first spark or two occur after top dead centre? [/QUOTE]
