Some of the TW's which have the centrifugal advance M9-35 mags had the
Slick Start shower of sparks installed. But not all of them. The
"sissy yaks" as I call them solve the air start problem by installing
the electric starter on the nose case. When no shower of sparks system
is installed, it makes starting the M14PF much easier.

Cranking speeds, even with an electric starter, are very marginal for
getting a spark from a magneto unless you have either a starting
vibrator ("shower of sparks"), an HT boost coil (stock CJ6A and
Yak-52 system), or an impulse coupling to increase the rotating speed of
the mag for starting.
The solid-state vibrator (Slick-Start) strikes me as the most elegant
compromise if you want to have a magneto ignition system.
