Before you make the battery/magneto choice, you need to determine is what intake manifold you have. The ignition is switched on and off by a switch in the intake manifold that kills the ignition when you are running on diesel. If the manifold switch has one terminal, it should short to ground when on diesel -- it's for a magneto. If it has two terminals and opens the circuit when on diesel, it's for a battery ignition. Having said that, though, given the choice I'll take a magneto every time. No matter what the battery state of charge is the mag will fire. If the day comes when the battery is dead and you have to bump start it, you'll be glad you had that option. Just my $.02 -- Brian
