Re: evinrude rbm coil test and repair

[jim-moffatt]

Any single cyl coil should work, if its small enough to fit in the flywheel and mag plate. The original coils were so big most likely because very thin gauge wire wasnt available in those early days. Any modern single coil should be "hot" enough. The coil can be placed anywhere on the laminate.
And its likely that grinding down the laminate to fit a modern coil would cause no problems.

The laminates can be cut in a staircase fashion if the heels cannot be removed. But that would require separating the layers from each other.

What Tubs has done using a tight fitting butt joint between the old laminates and the coil laminates should also work.

I have to complement Tubs on his very careful work to this point. The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight now, And its a good light!
