Default Has Anyone Converted to Combo Coil/Ignition Module?

Has anyone here converted to a Combo Coil/Ignition Module (like the ones used on SV530 and SV540 Courage motors)?


Such a conversion would completely eliminate the points. However, to make this work properly, it is likely to be necessary to cut a new keyway in the existing flywheel.

PS Excerpts from the Kohler SV540 manual set forth below regarding the SV540 coil/ignition module which is triggered off of the flywheel magnet (rather than points).

Link to Amazon for Coil/CDI combo (only $15): https://www.amazon.com/Ignition-Comm.../dp/B0779967FV
==============================================

The SV540 manual explains the system as follows: This system uses a capacitive discharge (CD) coil. Ignition timing and spark remains constant regardless of engine speed. Timing of spark is controlled by location of flywheel magnet group as referenced to engine TDC. A typical fixed ignition system consists of:
● 1 magnet assembly which is permanently affixed to flywheel.
● 1 electronic capacitive-discharge ignition module which mounts on engine crankcase.
● 1 kill switch (or key switch) which grounds module to stop engine.
● 1 spark plug.

There have been many discussions on this forum about doing this. Ol'George will hopefully chime in here.. I am of the same opinion as he is.. keep it simple and keep your points.. they work great.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
