need a sorcerer

Post by AndreFordT » Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:11 am

It is almost halloween
I am looking for a sorcerer or maybe a beautyfull sorceress will be better to learn to do some sorcery.
Just get these coils to be repaired.

Most of the coils you have pictured are not worth the effort to repair. Here in the U.S. they are easy to find. Since you are in Europe, I suggest ebay.
You probably don't have cores that are rebuildable. You can buy coils from Fun Projects, or other dealers such as Langs.

There is a fellow near you who does fantastic work with coils. I'll try to find his name.

I believe I detect a bit of trans-Atlantic leg-pulling going on here.

Yoda - messing with the coil boxes while the engine is running, learns a valuable lesson, he does!

I think he can get 4 good operating coil boxes out of his assortment. He will have to replace some parts, I'm sure. But he will have to work on them quite a bit.
He might want to see if he can trade them in as cores on some rebuilt and adjusted units. That would be the easiest route. I know a LOT of coil rebuilders have been running short of cores to rebuild recently. That is what I would try first.

Explains the new capacitor difference from the previous ones. New is better. The manufacturers part number and spec is displayed

Today I get the visit of a GOOD Witch.
Here is what we did together. Made 6 out of 8

The metal top coil need only a refill
The others need the points and are waiting for the new capacitors I ordered last week.
