chris r Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm too lazy/tired to read it but are you running positive earth or negative earth? Do the vibrator or trembler points still work? If you were keen you may be able to fit a modern internal coil and ignition module out of a dizzy and use the "trembler" points to trigger it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 The points are old but kind of work. The wood they mount on is soft and has borer so i'd have to replace it or stiffen it with something to give the points a steady pressure. The thing with the points is they're activated by the pole of the coils winging core so putting a small bike coil in might work, but i'll have to have the end of the coil sticking out of the wood. I'll see what a coil expert i know thinks about this. He might have some tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Some bike coils use the inner laminated core to mount the coil to the bike frame so you could possibly attach some thing to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Some years ago I found a four cylinder Ford manifold with a Holley carb on it lying in the grass behind one of my sheds. Looks like it's off a T or an A. Don't know enough about them to pick the differences. No idea if it has any usable parts left on it but if it's any use to you you're welcome to have it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH holly is T. The A often have a different carb', tillerston X is the aftermarket ones, that aren't as good at the updraft zenith Updraft zenith pictured.

SOHC Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Didn't the pinion gear come from under a macrocarpa tree and the crown wheel was missing a tooth anyway? all those skids and drifting would have been a pit hard on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.craw4d Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Fark what a cool project. Love the ignition system made from plastic bottles. This rocket science is way over my head but I'm loving the diy. Keep up the good work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostchips Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 I picked through a bucket of parts & found them. Should be enough parts for 1 good one. I think the parts carb' was one you gave me too. Do you need a giant 3 litre lawnmower engine carb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
