Re: Bendix Coils

[jw-in-dixie]

Early fifties I bought a used-one-time and returned to dealer as too feisty KG7. My good luck, altho the $150 I paid then is now = $3000 today. Used it on my 8′ runabout and shortly began to experience the Bendix dropping one cylinder syndrome. Replacement coils always got it going again. Still have it and it still runs.

A Bendix mag in good tune is about bullet-proof. Have had 3 go swimming and restart without pulling the flywheel. Not may mags will do that. Bendix ignitions were used on many airplane motors. Got to be dependable for that application. 😉
