    MAC's electronic Ignitions.

    I see in Mac's new catalog he is offering a E/I for flatheads 12 & 6 volt. I'm just wondering if anyone is using one and how it works. Good /bad ? Any input would be appreciated.

    hard start after running

    It could be your coil going bad on ya. I had the same problem. I went through everything and nothing helped the last thing I did was replace the old coil with a fresh rebuilt coil and bingo problem gone. It worked for me. Good luck.
