Doug Steinbach said: (quoted from post at 11:08:35 02/01/09) can someone tell me if the wire in the photo is supposed to be attached to something. One of course touches on the top of the coil, but where does the other one go?
That second wire does not go anywhere. It is supposed to be where it is for a safety spark gap. If the mag is rotated without it being hooked up to spark plugs, there has to be a way for the high voltage spark to escape to ground without it's creating a path where there should not be one, thus the reason for the safety spark gap.
As for the kill wire that F-Dean mentioned. I would not do that, the F4 mag already has a built-in kill switch. The cap that covers the points rotates to adjust timing, when the cap is turned all the way in one direction (I don't remember which at the moment) it grounds the points and kills the tractor.
