    Someone here explained once that the low tension system was developed partially because of the desire to get an alternator winding under the flywheel. No room for alternator windings using the two coils on the conventional universal mag set up.
    And while I won’t even pretend to like/defend the low tension/hybrid system, the OMC CD2 system competed favorably with the Japanese stuff.
