Not saying it's not guilty, but Ei systems usually either work as advertised - or don't work at all! There's not usually any middle ground.
But I could be wrong, it has been known!

90%+ would agree, but... last time I had the Spitfire rolling road tuned the EI was intermittent - I was embarrassed when I found out why as it's a fault I'd previously fixed on the original dizzy before fitting the re-built one.
On some of the kits the plastic magnet ring that sits on the spindle can slide too far down the dizzy spindle. Too low - no spark. In the middle - intermittent especially at higher RPM/Load. I found putting a small o-ring on the spindle and sitting the ring on that fixed the issue for 1000s of miles.
I've been a big advocate of EI in the past over points, but recently have had bad experience with Powerspark failing at less than 2 months old. (They supplied a replacement even though I asked for a refund, now running accuspark and carrying points "just in case"
