Thanks. I ran a CB Magnaspark (the low end model) on my Superbeetle for two years. At the end of two years, the inside was completely corroded and the Hall effect sensor had snapped in half. CB said "they all do that" (so beware). I forget the details, but it was something like $450 for the unit, $350 for a rebuild that failed and another $100+ for a 009 and Perlux Ignitor. So a close-to-$1000 experiment.

What are the HVX moods
