Since your B31 has a magdyno setup you will have to use a coil ignition system that utilises the magneto part, otherwise, if you do away with the magneto part you will not have a mounting place or a drive to your dynamo (& no charging). Kirby Rowbotham does a conversion to coil igniton using the original magneto.

Thanks very much Justin. This seems to be just what I'm looking for.

I have just sent off an e-mail to him.

Cheers :)
