Re: switch Dist. to Mag
Can you switch froma distributor to a mag directly or is there a different drive required?? Have an H-4 mag to be checked out.

Re: switch Dist. to Mag
It is a direct bolt-on. A battery ignition can be installed and timed with a governor gear not properly in time. A magneto requires the governor to be timed correctly. You may find that you need to correct the governor timing. This is the same as with a Cub. The situation has been discussed in the Cub forum and you should be able to find those discussions if you need details.

Re: switch Dist. to Mag
Do NOT connect the small wire currently on the distributor, coming from the coil, to the magneto. You will instead need to connect the magneto to a grounded switch.
