    There's a hell of a lot of Spifire pilots and old Hydro racers who would accurately argue about "the prince of darkness". Those great MERLINS ran like a mofo. In my younger days I was known as "Limey John" because most idiots with brit bikes didn't know squat about how to wire Lucas charging and ignition systems. I have NEVER had any problems with bri charging or ignition systems. The magnetic rotors used on brit bikes had residual magnetism a very hi perf feature found only on the best stuff. I also used American double lip seals when rebuilding brit engines and mine NEVER leaked. For my 2 cents there is nothing wrong with monoblocks at all and are much more tunable than the concentrics. Cliff and Sharon Majors, who owned Cycle Hub in Portland Ore got me straightened out on Amal's.
