what a solution, WOW !
hats off, a great compliment for your work here
and that you share it with us
including the attached photos

Well Kees I haven’t gotten it to
work as the coil is too tall and hits the
top of the flywheel. The pictures show
what challenges I face as to getting more
room. Still no solution as yet.
The faster a magneto spins the stronger
the spark. If I can get this worked out I’m
sure it will make a spark and the motor
would run but will it be strong enough for
it to start pulling the motor over by hand.
The original configuration is essentially 2
coils. It may turn out to be a waste of time.
The raised wall that holds the tar could be
removed for more width if you needed it.
My issue is the height.
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.
What Tubs has done using a tight fitting butt joint between the
old laminates and the coil laminates should also work.
The wire looked awful fine to me Jim and
there seemed to be a ton of it.
My attempt to file down the laments and just
put a coil on one side ended when I couldn’t
the laments out of the coil without damaging
the cover. I didn’t know if having the coil off
center would work. You have answered that
question for me but I was using the same coil
so it wouldn’t have fit anyway.
I did make an effort to have the laments I
shortened touch Jim but I don’t know if its
necessary. Some coils just have one lament
inserted into the rest. So my thinking
was if the centers didn’t touch the over and
under contact should work. What do you
think?
The wife was sneezing and coughing all
last week and now I got it. Hard to be
creative when you feel like crap.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
