More work on the magneto today.
The bottom cylinder’s coil plug wire circles
around the opposite direction as with the original
coils, but I didn’t seen any issues when I mounted
the mag on the power head.
I have not put the flywheel on yet, but hoping to have no issues
with the new coils rubbing.
I decided to alter some $7 universal magneto type condensers
with brackets from the old style condensers.
The new condenser’s brackets were attached to their cans
with two tiny spot welds.
I “carefully” drilled the spot welds away on the milling machine
using an 1/8″ end mill.
I measured the bracket thickness, and used the mill DRO so
I didn’t drill too deep!
They’re installed on the mag plate, and appear that they “‘should work” okay.
Prepare to be boarded!
