It also describes installation and proper care of your new or old KW magneto to keep it in top form.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Unfortunately, the insulation used in this contraption is wax paper which attracts moisture, breaks down, and develops electrical leakage causing loading and a wimpy spark or no spark. These live under the magnets in the loaf of bread model. The upside is that there is plenty of room to install a modern device and end all of our woes. The highbar used mica as an insulator which is used in the aerospace industry for its robustness and all is well barring any physical damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 If the primary winding of the KW mags especially the highbar appears to be open it is very likely that the problem is a splice connecting the coil wire and the pigtail leadout. They used a rubber sleeve that corroded the pigtail leads in half in some cases.
