"The
most
significant
contribution
I have made
to the
small gas
engine hobby
was to publish
this
book in 1997."
The book is
very popular
with small,
and large, gas
engine
builders and
collectors.
The book was
written to
correct many
misconceptions
concerning
ignition coils
and magnetos
and to provide
working
information to
design, build,
apply and
troubleshoot
ignition
systems.
The
book also
provides
information
to build
miniature
ignition
coils, magnetos
and a coil
winder.
It is a 281
page, library
quality
hardback with
gold lettering
containing 116
drawings and
illustrations.
The book is
written in
layman's
terms. Technical
terms and
"buzz words"
are avoided
for easy
understanding.
Twenty
one chapters
include:
Electricity -
Magnets - The
magnetis
circuit -
Inductors -
