Dan,
My system has got a retard built in for starting. It is mechanical, and
works with centrifugal force, and it is a ON-OFF type system: either the
engine is not running, and there is full retard; or the engine is
running, and there is no retard.
For reasons that have to do with mechanical constraints, only one of my
two ignitions has this system, and therefore, I can start the engine only
on Ignition 1. If I try to start on Ignition 2, the engine will kick back.
In short, my Ignition 2 is similar to yours: useable only after start.
But this is not what Colin was referring to. He says that once the engine
is turning, the advance is fixed, which is not ideal, because the engine
should adjust the advance timing according to the RPM and acceleration.

Objet : KR> Ignitions with no retard
How can you start an engine that does not have a retard built into the
ignition, unless you have two of them and one is retarded for starting. I
know that the electronic ignition system that we have from GPASC, states
very emphatically, that it is not to be used for starting. We are using a
mag also. The mag has a retard system for starting. Our wiring will not
allow the starter to turn if the electronic switch is on. After the engine
starts, we flip on the electronic, which must not be operated below 600
RPM.
