Stop, backup, regroup....Mike, if those windings have a common ground (which I'm beginning to think NOT) that would mean that the primary (12 volt) winding is ALWAYS hot! How is that possible? The current cannot be induced in the secondary windings until the magnetic field produced on the 12 volt primary is switched on/off repeatedly by the opening/closing of the points. Hence I'm back to my thought that the primary winding is electrically isolated from the coil case and the two small posts on the coil are insulated. Further evidenced by the fact that a coil wired backwards will work, albeit not as well. If it's the secondary winding that is electrically isolated through the points (which I doubt) that little wire from the points (in the distributor) to the coil would have to be as thick and heavily insulated as the one from the top of the coil to the distributor cap. I think not. How 'bout it ltf, is it the secondary winding (high voltage) that is case grounded to the frame? Is the primary winding, in fact, electrically isolated from ground until the points close? Inquiring minds want to know....;-) Gadget

Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
