Interesting - I remember reading somewhere this was a problem with the Lumenition system and was cured by fitting a chopper plate with smaller cut outs. Can't really do this with a Boyer or Pazon.
There is an interesting system from Electrex World, ref STK-102D, which replaces the Lucas alternator with a self powered CDI unit. This unit gives 21 degrees of advance on the crankshaft. The downside is the generator part only gives 50W so would impact on lighting, upside no battery required for starting. It would be interesting to find out if it would fit in the Silk alternator housing.
