NO
All the spark-delay does is cancel out the first sparks, thus enabling the crank to be spinning faster, and 'hopefully' start easier. It does not compensate for over advanced ignition timing or incorrect (lean) carburetion. Post 2006 Electra X have lower compression by way of the crankcase mouth being higher than previously, and should have the 'green' (spark cancel) control unit???
Neither of which fully prevented Kick Back and Sprag bearing failure.
A far cheaper, safer and simpler method is to engage the valve lifter to both start, and stop, the engine EVERY TIME.
The Stock valve lifter is pathetic, (it was a Choke on Suzukis in a previous life) Fit a Lifter with some strength and leverage; push bike brake lever assy for example.
