|
|
From my R975 post i am trying to get a R975 running on a stand, have found out that a mag booster coil is required to provide additional spark in a retarded position for starting, it feeds in to the left hand mag, i did not get one with the engine, i assume it remains on the aircraft when engine is removed, can I make one from an automotive ignition coil and an osillator on the primary side to provide the spark and then feed this to the mag or is the original item imperative to use, any help would be of use

Our Liberty coils are really hot, but are designed for 8 volts. Are there any coil specifications in the manual you purchased? |

Yeah the automotive coil system would work fine. Booster coils are quite common but a home made one would be just as good. Yak-52 or Nanchang CJ-6 aircraft have a small and simple booster coil that could probably be sourced cheaply. |

got an "eclipse aviation" 12 volt booster coil, tested it and it works OK, one more piece in the puzzle |
