Re: Success…Lauson Pony Coil Converison w/ video

[mas]

Thanks guys..

I ended up using an original capacitor from a Lauson parts motor (hence the yellow tank) that "looked" pretty good. The motor seems to run really well with the conversion…but I have no idea if the capacitor will last. I tried to find a capacitor for the John Deere pony motor ignition, but the last price I got from my local John Deere shop was over $40.00…which didn’t float my boat! Does anyone know the mF value of the original capacitor (Eisemann 62D magneto) and a modern replacement if/when she fails? I still do know what effect a mismatched capacitor/coil/magneto will have on the ignition…any ideas…?

Happy Motoring,
