Lawn Tractor

(1/1)

Chuck Farley:
Just completed a major upgrade to the ignition of my lawn tractor.
It had developed a habit of eating the magneto alive.   I was replacing 2 or 3 a year.
My son did weeks of internet research and concluded that a mix and match parts selection just might work
It now uses a Ford brake reluctor on the flywheel, triggering a GM HEI which, in turn, fires a dual coil (for a GM "wasted spark" ignition system
Now it runs like brand new!

goodfellow:
That's pretty cool! well done sir  --

slip knot:
I've been looking at doing that with an Onan Generator I have. Lots of good ideals on the web about ignition swaps
