Re: Red OMC coils

Thanks for the tips, i am thinking on a compact unit made in a single ring with multiple layers one as a charging ring, one as a module ring and possibly a coil ring, the modules sandwiched between the coil and charger, heat and clearence being the problem. I wouldnt try to spin my TN past 5k anyway, thats a 1000 rpm over its advertised rpm and with just bronze braised bushings its to easy to solder the crank to the block and rods even running heavy fuel at 16:1. If I was to use the modules with an external coil I could make only two ring layers and raise clearence and vent heat better. But I like the idea of winding my own coils to the specs I like though. If you could get solidly reliable modules built to last I might be up for a hand full of them to build my project on, I would love to have my old outboard engine on my boat and be able to run battery powered stuff especially at night: running lights, and the like, as well as have the ignition use a module type spark it would be a hell of a retrofit but it sue sounds cool.

Going back thru these posts, it would be interesting to see which way the coils are wrapped that spark clockwise, give your statements about that I wonder how many coils were returned thinking they were faulty when the wires just could have been reversed. Seems as if quality control must have lost track of the windings at some point and miscoded the wire colors.
