Running a little rich - carb float?

Pardon the newbieness of this post, I'm not a carb guy. 350 has been running rich on an Amal carb, but I've just been living with it for lack of time. The other day I rode to a local store, turned off the petcocks and parked. When I restarted I forgot to turn on the gas, so I was running on the gas ...

Electronic ignition?

I have a Mototrans 350, and I care more about reliability than originality: I actually ride the thing. Anyone have experience with an electronic ignition for these singles? I'm a newbie. Thx.

Mototrans 350 - electronic ignition?

I'm not a stickler for originality and I like being able to forget about ignition as a factor when the bike's not performing "right". Does anyone have any insight into an electronic ignition for a 72 350?
