G'day Vm ,Norm ,Mf ,Ru and Mitch,
Just a word of warning if purchasing from AMS do your homework first especially with hard to get parts.
I have just waited 3 months for a couple of pinion gears which they said were in stock with a 3 day dispatch.
After 5 updates for extended deliveries I rang their supplier and was informed parts NLA and that they had no orders for those parts.
I have now after showing them that the parts are NLA they changed their listing to discontinued, and I have received a refund but wasted 3 months. mich
AMS deserve a bad review for messing you around Mitch.
Max, I will give your suggestion a try if ever I come across an external coil. .
Max, are you saying that if I use a PT coil, from running on the outside of the flywheel I should turn it over to run it on the inside of the F/C flywheel?
Yes Norm ,you must flip the coil over so it goes onto the core the opposite way.
The reason for this is, Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. They go from the north pole to the south pole.
The early Victa motors ( with the coil inside the flywheel ) the flywheel leads with the North Pole magnet
but the Powertorque and Full crank side pull both lead with the South Pole magnet so the Magnetic field lines
are reversed if you swap one coil from one motor to the other without installing the coil backwards.
Below I have drawn a Full crank side pull coil even though it looks like a powertorque under the drawings.
The next drawing is comparing the Powertorque to the early Victa.
I have one Victa 18 that has a big hole (in the alloy coil plate) where the coil goes so you can install a bigger coil,
so yes you can adapt a bigger coil to work.
Cheers
Max.
