My fleet of puchs are running the stock ignition/stator plates and have 38-40 years and like 14-24k mi on them.
I wouldn’t hit a dog in the ass with those aftermarket point stator plate set ups or cheep cdi setups.
The Bosch condenser that comes with stock puch ignition is very good, I’ve only had a few go bad after decades of use and then I wasn’t even sure if it was the condenser that was bad, I just change Stator plate to a different one to get spark sometimes.
