I have a brand new one suitable for a four cylinder engine but not a two. If i can swap parts for it, that would be great, or let me know how much you want, and i will sell one of my children to pay for it . _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE".

Did think of converting the one i have but again, the price outweighs the end result. _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE".

Yes the beemers have the same principle of ignition system at least the old two valve models , i haven't been reading up on the newer 4valves. Poul edit: actually any twostroke single rev counter will do it too , one spark every rotation.
