TheRecklessEngineer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 As the title really...it's a Suffolk Punch from circa 1960. It's got a points/condensor/big coil of wire type ignition system, but the big coil of wire has a short between two of the three wires. Any ideas how I can get my hands on a new one? Tried fleabay, and even though I can get a whole mower for £1 it seems a little overkill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 You could try a magneto repair specialist such as http://magnetorepairs.com but I suspect it will cost a LOT more than the £1 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I had actually considered megasquirt...or rather a homemade ignition/fuel system. Only problem is a lack of electricity to run it...might be able to do something with lots of wire and the current laminated iron pickup to generate 12v - then use an ignition coil to fire the spark. Fuel injector instead of carb, O2 sensor in exhaust....wonder if I can do electronic control of the valves as well... hmmmmmmm Vapour anyone?
