That's one factor. Another is than CDIs have higher failure rates.



You are aware that Porsche produced air cooled engines after the 911SC (CDI), that no longer used CDI, e.g. 911 3.2, 964, & 993, right?




It's of little relevance to relate the air cooled Porsche cylinder head design to a F1 head design to rationalize use of CDI over an inductive discharge ignition.

The article relates to plug fouling, high revving, rich mixture engines from the 90s. We have a few customers running those flat plugs. . Closer to our engines than a modern lean burn motor.

I love my BF hammer but it is not always the right tool for everything. Others might disagree.
