Not yet John, but I will have my brown trousers and wellies on when I come to set up the magnetic timing. John |

Just read the whole post John... Well, read the first part, fell asleep (literature induced narcolepsy!) then woke up and just finished reading the rest :palm: :) Top build... looks bloody good :thumbup: Good luck with the setting up :zap: It'll look great on the engine once it's built. Better than all the bulky electronic doodads and a chunky battery (IMHO). Ralph. |

Well since the floor is open, I'll just say it out in my hardly every humble opinion, a nice maggie is always better than a lunking old battery and custom wirings with multi-colored splicings and terminals, on just about everything except maybe flamesuckers. :lol: Great build, and a great looking and set up magneto for an engine, far better, if it sparks reliably, than any battery based set up that is difficult to maintain between usages. I see great potential for this magneto and look forward to using some of what I've learned here. :bow: mad jack |

I have that effect on people Ralph, my continual gumbeating tends to send people to sleep. It is a shame it doesn't work on me, as I can't. Jack, because of the bulkiness I would have to have (big box under the engine) was the main reason I went for it. If it all works, it will just sit on the camshaft end on the engine and will only require a fairly thin baseplate. I noticed some pictures over on HMEM where a chappie had incorporated a couple of old Jim Shelley versions into their big upright aero engines. Last two pictures on the first post http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=6432.0 Very neat installations. John |
