Spark plug coil amplifier
We seem to have less electronics expertise than in the past, what
hppened to Andrew Gabriel? I have one of the cheap 2T 650W gensets based on the Yamaha 50cc capacitively excited generator handed me by a mate to fix, a NUTool . It won't start because the HT is too weak to produce a spark and I currently put that down to loss of magnetism in the flywheel magnets. These things are cheap low quality copies and generally not worth repairing but I also have my first machine saw from 1974 that exhibits the same problem. They are both capacitor discharge ignition. Any suggestions for a simple battery powered circuit which could sense the trailing edge of the pulse to the coil circuit I and use that to cut the current running through the coil and produce a decent spark? |
