Re: Ignition Analyzer?

[Buccaneer]

I played a little with the old, circa 1950 Sun "Master Motor Test Center"
today, seeing if I could get the coil test portion of it useable.
I don’t think it’s suited for outboard coils for some of the test
mentioned in the manual, but perhaps for some of the test it
would work. I could not get the meter calibrated / zero’d out
as it suggest before starting the test.
The unit consist of three components, one has a analog meter,
showing "milliampers", "Bad / Good" range, "ohms", etc.
The second is the "breaker" unit, with points and cam.
The third has the test selection knobs, "Coil set regulator",
"Dwell-Ohm regulation", and a selector dial to select….
"Milliamps, "Coil Set", "Coil Test", "Dwell Ohm", and "Coil Heat".

This is an old "automotive" test center, and some of the coil
test mentions "turning on the ignition key"…… can’t
find one on my outboards 🙂
It was fun to hear the cam and points clicking and clacking though!

Prepare to be boarded!
