Understood, Gentlemen. And thank you.
Chatting with a much smarter friend (than me) yesterday, we both wondered aloud if the P.O.'s solution of running an internally resisted coil was a better idea. Bill, is there a reason these TF trucks run the resistor? Please forgive my ignorance.
Also, are the original style foot starter-type ignition switches still available? I see a of of key start ones...
Next tests start this weekend. Or maybe today if the weather keeps me from going to work. A truly mixed blessing.
Will post results soon after.
