[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 52031, member: 3287"] Robert I'll have a rummage around, using a mag/dyno unit some time ago testing on the lathe to see if I would damage the mag buy using the earth connection,, to incorporate a coil ignition system onto the mag points, it worked fine but reduced the mag spark by 2mm but it was jumping about 10mm at the time,,,again a lack of knowledge I was apprehensive that if the engine stopped with points closed and the feed through the coil ignition system !? Would there be damage to the magneto armature? I couldn't think of an easy way to make a centrifugal switch at the time (so it only connected when the engine ran) whats the answer please ,Bright-Spark, Magnetoman. Knowing younger brother is going to be in the same party with out me, I'd better make sure he has the appropriate spares. [/QUOTE]
