Have not used one, look forward to hearing how it goes to convert. I will say that I think the hall sensors are getting damaged by the ignition circuit some how, perhaps the ignition spark is arcing to the hall sensor somehow.  I have not had any additional issues with my hall sensor since soldering my ground wire to the bolt that connects it to the frame, my theory is that if the engine is not grounded correctly, then the high voltage on the engine(from the plug)  will try to get to the circuits ground by the fastest means. If the hall sensors is a smaller jump than through the ground wire, then it will do it.
