A good firing mag is completely equal to distributor ignition if not better. The problem with these old mags is they get dirty, cruddy, filthy. Especially around the impulse coupling springs and dogs. I just finished a '40 H, started great on 12Volt, but I wanted 6V. Could not crank fast enough to make any spark on 6V. Took the mag apart, cleaned the impuse coupling and coupling dogs, put it back on and it starts with ease. Just bump the starter through the compression stroke and SNAP away it goes. It's so simple yet so complex. It's also amazing something like a impulse magneto, with what has to be exposed to extremely high stress loads during impulse, can hold up for 63 years and still work.
