I still consider a magneto the best setup for spark-ignition. No wonder they're still prevalent in piston-engined light aircraft and even in some motorcycles. BTW you might remember that some off-road motorcycles, even when fitted with EFI and some weak headlight, don't even have a battery and rely only in the electricity supplied by the magneto. Sure you wouldn't wanna get rid of the battery in your truck because of the starter, but anyway, a magneto is a reasonable option.
