The add-on unit I installed on my old tiller engine(which I no longer
own) would spark reliably enough to start on the second pull virtually
every time, and it did not take any more of a pull than the original
point ignition. The only thing that would make it easier to start
would be battery ignition.
It started at least as easily as the mower with factory "magnetronic"
ignition.

You probably didn't notice it. It's not that much a concern for
anybody with any kind of strength at all. But the fact remains that it
takes more rpms for that type to spark than the other style ignitions.
The difference isn't enough to notice unless you're trying to fix a
mower for a little old lady who can barely pull it.

Well, I got out of the mechanics business because of bad shoulders -
so I notice if an engine is hard starting - for a week or two after as
well.
