    mercury used a sticky goop to insulate the coil wire connection. why not use the corona dope or liquid tape etc.

    I’m not against it (I’ve already ordered some), but being a little anal retentive and waaayyy too much of a perfectionist I’m trying to learn something and get it to work as intended.

    Example: Is there a way to check the coils to see if they need burial services, because they show as good using the VOM. Apparently. If I read correctly, the coils might be cooked on the secondary side, but it might not show.

    Appreciate the response!
