Will see if I have better luck posting photos today, but it was nice
to see my Flambeau again anyway. (Sarcasm!)
I finished up swapping out one of the original coils for the Tecumseh,
and tested it out. It’s not the fattest spark I’ve ever seen, but perhaps
okay?
I’m debating weather or not to do the same coil swap with the
other original “bad” coil, or put the one good original on it that
I had stashed.
Either way, there’s a few road blocks before this KA-37 may ever
run again. I lost the stationary half of the point set somehow,
and the moveable half has a broken “spring steel” spring broken.
Bigger problem is that I’m awaiting different piston rings, as
the Maytag rings I installed aren’t going to work out.
VIDEO…….
Comparing the OMC vs. the Tecumseh coil as far as “height”.
The Tecumseh coil all hooked up and ready for a test.
P.S.- That’s the style of point set I need for the other side,
in case anyone had one to sell.
I used a .22 mdf capacitor, but not idea what the Tecumseh coil desires.
Prepare to be boarded!
