Starting a project and need input on magnetos

I work with Panhead City in Rome Ga. As the name implies, we do a lot of Harley Panhead restoration as well as most Old Harley big twins. 2 stroke single cylinders are a mystery though!. I bought a guys old storage parts and found a 1952 hummer frame and front forks. Also pretty much all of a 165cc motor. Not sure I can get the piston to move!
Plan is to build a "pit" bike to carry around on RV. Believe me this pile of parts is not restoration quality.
First question is about living with a magneto on these bikes. On the big bikes they are a pain but on the 165 I will not be running lights so the question about running magneto has come up to keep weight down. Any thoughts?
