On a 1948 CUB whith original 6 volt positive ground I cleaned and set the point to .20 and disconnected the condencer , seperated the wire from the points to the coil and installed a TIP3055 npn transister and one diode and guess what....instead of 4.6 amps at the points now its only 70 ma (.07)amps the points go to the base , emitter to the coil , and the collector to the positive ground ,diode is 5 amps 100 volt between the collector and the emitter band towards the collector . The fire is alot hotter ,Doubled the spark gap from .23 to .45 point still at .70 amps .There is no spark or arc visable at the points , the only wear would be at the wiper in about 15 years . I just have it hanging there on a pease of aluminum now but it will bolt down in place of the condencer under the cap. not bad for $2.45 How do I get this out ?
