Re: Phelon coils Mercury

Troubleshooting weak spark:

Installed different Phelon coil and laminate got nice fat blue spark now I know Points and Condenser are good.

Installed good Phelon coil on laminate that I filed down = very weak spark

Installed OMC coil (off a good running Lightwin) on the modified laminate = very weak spark

The spark plug Wire is almost new checks 1 ohm and each time I tested I checked continuity through coil secondary to end of spark wire 4.6 K ohm.

Conclusion I ruined my Phelon laminate.

I may have file a little more on one side of laminate.

I also connected a jumper wire from mag. plate to engine block , no help.
