When there is smoke there must be fire.
During the rebuild of en engine last Saturday I was recharging the magnets by using the coil loop that came with the engine and was looking good.
Before I tested the coil ring by building it in serie with a 12V 21W light and a 12 battery and checking the change of polarity on each coil. No problem there.
For recharging the magnets, I use three 12V battery's in serie and flash the coil ring a few times. During this there was some smoke coming out of one coil.
Result: magneto coil ring need a rebuild!!!!
First I was thinking to replace only this coil but I found there was no insulation between the coil and the cotton warp. All the loop will come apart and will be rebuild.

Re: When there is smoke there must be fire.
I forgot to collect the smoke so I will need your bottle. I am also looking for a can of elbow grease and skin varnish.
Have a fine Sunday. I will be rebuilding a coil loop

Re: When there is smoke there must be fire.
Guys, guys,
I am only going for the real stuff, no replacements only New Old Stock .
No Jaguar smoke but Model T smoke!
No monkey elbow grease but the real stuff!
No pig skin varnish but authentic skin varnish!
By the way the coil loop is nearly done.

Missing two layers of polyester and one layer of isolation varnish to go and the fire is out.

Re: When there is smoke there must be fire.
Nice work!!!
Looks as if the smoke will be contained nicely.
