Regaring silcone worms creeping through the cooling system you are absolute right. The sealant I use is very stable when dryed out and stays where it is even when pressed out.

But you need a thin layer on both sides of the gasket to close the roughness of the surfaces and get it leak tight.  I think that it works and next time I will be even more carefull when I apply the sealant.

Ignition failures should not occur nowadays. On other motorcycles I have already used Ignitech and Vape from Czech republic. Both work quite well and Vape can deliver a combination of ignition and alternator. The Vape ignition is working without battery and has a strong spark.  

Ignitech offers programmable ignitions, pickups, regulator etc. for a fair price

Vape offers alternator-ignition units. Lots of variation also for strokers.
