Not quite sure what you are asking zephyr. Like Frank says, the 22CI engines suffered in the 70s when OMC struggled to make them more environmentally friendly. Adding low tension ignition to the mix just spells more frustration. I will make an unpopular generalization by saying I would avoid any of the OMCs with low tension ignition. This is not to say that these engines can’t be made to run reliably, but the low tension ignition usually requires more servicing than CD2 or the universal mag, and this system is usually more prone to plug fouling….
