Re: Using a car coil outside the 2 stroke block

[jw-in-dixie]

In defense of Billy Bob, may I point out:

The Mark 20 powerhead was from a junk pile – there were no other parts to restore a full motor
I needed to see if it would run, without spending $100 on Bendix coils
The M/C coils cost $2 at a yard sale
I’m curious and want to try things, always trying to learn
The modification was very simple to install and remove, with no damage to the block
Indeed it ran and at 10% higher rpms than similar motors in the rat motor application that I run
Nothing ventured, nothing learned

I think perhaps Henry Ford was a Billy Bob – look what his tinkering led to

Cheers, JW 😀
