Seems like some old coils could be easily refurbished with some redneck injun'newtie
or Yankee ingenuity.

This is very easy to do all that you have to do is drill a hole in the cap to hook the coil wire to . You use the points in the mag. I did this some on cat pony motors.

I still have a drawer with old magnetos in it.... should have thrown them away thirty years ago. But I look at them and then remember the times people that didn't know better would hold them, snap them over the impulse and then jump like a crazy man when it bites them.... I close the draw back up. lol.

That reminded me of a guy at work many years ago. He was a welder and had an old gas welder of his own at home. It was not running right due to a bad magneto so he pulled it and sent it to the repair shop to get rebuilt. He got it back and while looking it over turned the drive and tripped the impulse. Yea he dropped it and pieces went flying! Next time he got it rebuilt he did not check it out before installing it!

This also reminds me of some of the guys I knew back in college. Many were electronic types some of whom would sit around in their spare time drawing up circuits for amplifiers and such, this was back when things were still done with resistors and capacitors before IC's Well one of the "games" they like to play on people was to take a capacitor and charge it up and then toss it to someone unsuspecting to catch. As you probably know that capacitor will discharge if you were unlucky to touch both ends when you caught it!

My shop teacher did that to the greenhorns in small engines class. For the life of them they couldn't figure out how that happened.
