    no spark when hot

    Posted by kylemorley "Too many amps will usually kill a square coil pretty quickly" I have a 48 N 12v(EI) with a sq coil.With just a ballast resistor the coil was hot to the touch.So I removed the ballast and installed a one and two ohm resistor in series,bringing the amps down from 3.7 to...

    Stop guessing on coil amps.

    Bill, yes, it takes about 2 weeks for delivery. I installed mine in a small plastic parts container, which I hang with a wire on the tractor. I also cut the wire between the coil and the resistor and install connectors. I install the same connectors on the meter leads so that I can pull the...
