Re: Johnson HD 25 coils

[greg-o]

OK, I am just getting around to getting back to this project. I just bought a magneto plate for a TD 20. Obviously the TD 20 plate won’t fit this HD20 motor. The coils and points are 90 degrees different between the two. The coils should swap out ok, but I am wondering about the Maverick spark suppressor. Should I use it on this motor, which had them, even though according to Johnson, it did not have them? I do not know what magnet rotor this motor has, or which cam. If I need to use the spark suppressor, which condenser should I use. I really hate soldering anymore than I have to on these coils. I will use a soldering gun with minimum heat, just enough to melt the solder. I figure if the spark suppressors are not used I would use the condenser that goes with that coil.

I really appreciate everyone’s help on this project. I think it will make a fine little motor. The original paint and decals are in good shape for it’s age.
