CB350/400 / Re: Power consumption, E-ignition vs Points. also - spare advance cam?

An electronic ignition system (I have one fitted) is a bit like a light bulb it either works or it's blown, not much in the middle assuming the connections are all good to the unit.
My experience on cars is that they are many times more reliable than CB points as well as staying 'in tune' so as to speak even though cars have a different spark supply arrangements.
The Boyer system is probably the best of both worlds in some ways as it retains the CB points iirc.
