The Elto Super A Rudder Twin is back in “Time Out”.
For kicks today, I bypassed the normal coil, and hooked
it up to my Model T Ford buzz coil, using the motor’s
points for the buzz coil’s “timer” connection.
It didn’t take long to realize my buzz coil setup only
has “one” secondary outlet (plug wire), but
I tried it anyway, by running a jumper between spark plugs.
No idea if both plugs actually fired, but I did get the motor
to fire a few hits, but not as good as the previous day with
the normal ignition setup.
Model T Fords probably had a separate buzz coil for each
cylinder, for a good reason.
I’m guessing if the compression was a little higher on the port
cylinder, it might run, but for now, time to play with something
different!
Prepare to be boarded!
