In the small engine world of single cylinder and small twins of lawn maintenance types, do the newer engines have ignition advance/retard systems in them? Remembering older (non-computer) auto engines this was done using flyweights in the distributor and vacuum diaphragms. Then along came computers and sensors to accomplish the advance/retard in the ignition. With all the advances in electronics, do any of the small engines in our world have a variable ignition timing built in to them for easier starting and lower fuel consumption. Seems it should be a no-brainer. Anything in the aftermarket?:anyone:
