Re: Mks 2 and 3 ignitions voltage

Can anyone tell me the output voltages for the above? Most spark plugs need between 12,000 and 24,000 volts to spark. Can be as high as 40,000 volts. Why do you need to know the voltage? I usually find that all seagull ignitions work or do not work, I have worked on most of them, main issues are de...

I like that picture, glad I polished mine to that sort of finish, they were quit blingy.

Re: Early 102 on the Bay

It is looking good, was surprised it had a spark, could be arcing between windings, hope it is sound. Will be interesting to see it run in water, I find that the older villiers condensers fail when they get hot. Normally after about 20 to 30 minutes of hard running on a boat. I replace them if I wan...

Re: FVs

If it was Zinc on these gasket plates it would be the first thing to corrode galvanically. Do any of our readers have ready access to an XRF so we could find out for sure? What about SD drive tubes and cylinders DSCN4967.JPG DSCN0009.JPG they are both coated in a zinc like metal could be tin. But i...

Galvanised studs have no rust and gaskets are rust free, look like they are galvanised or tin plated.
