morris ones with the starter spin mech, are great and do help loads with kickstart bikes,...what make is it ?...Morris, Hunt or V-Twin ???
if V-Twin Mfg i'd avoid it as they just are not made well,.... Morris are the best out there and work very well

JP sells it and is listed as a Hunt, no reference to V-Twin.

It does have the advance mechanism.

hunt are my 2nd choice, well made but i have known Dave at Morris Magnetos for 30 years or so, I used to live near him in Morristown NJ so he was always my first port of call
his rare earth magnet magnetos throw an amazing spark out at low spin speeds !!
