    That is still one of the things on my to do list to make. This past year has been so chaotic that I seldom went to my shed to machine fun stuff.

      Robert, things have really been crazy around here also. Take care. ~John

    I do something like that, but I grab old motorcycle coils (small in size) box measures 4x5x5 with a quick latch. Also old exit lights are a great battery source. Small as well

    Yes seating little valves is pretty fiddly. I think valves and making the cams is the hardest part for me!

    Very interesting, would be good to see you describe making spark plugs.

    Hi im from the UK nice work can you please tell me if I can use it with a 6v supply.

      Martin, a 6 volt will work just fine for this application.

    Thanks for the video John....still working the airwaves? Take care, Evan AE2TT

      Evan, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I'm still on the air, mostly FT8 and CW. 73/John

    How does variabel speed frequency buzz coil look like for engines working on centrain speed? Is there a way how calculate the rate of given pulses?

    • @TinkerJohn_W5CYF
      @TinkerJohn_W5CYF  2 роки тому

      The purpose of the "buzz box" is to provide continuous spark when points are closed. I'm not sure how to vary the pulse rate.

      @@TinkerJohn_W5CYF I come sir to unusual problem.
      For some reason my car ground is shoking my Im confused because bouth tail light and blinker work at same time when I use lights ore blinkers my engin refuse to stop for some strange reason and my engin when are lights one has tendency to self acelerate my dash board lights are flickering as well.
      So I dont know what is causing it ?
      Baterry voltage is around 15v and climing.
      So I figured out it must by some cinde of relay ignition because I turn of key compleately when all 4 blinkers working .
      The engin working cinde of in pulses.
      So Im realy confused why its hapening.
      How ever I did notice increase in power smother engin.
      That engin run on stops when I take of metalic air filter .
      So I removed the blowby hosse and it stops runing on .
      I did change head lighghts for new'r version but it hase same bulb lay out holder on rear side.
      The car is Old Opel Ascona C 1.3L engin 1985 model year basicaly clasic GM car.
      Somthing is vibrating some thing is going on I can not pin point where its coming from .
      My blinker relay Is a 3 pin siemens relay.
      I do have linear voltage regulator inside the dash board..I do have induction triger wacum advance with 4 pin gm ignitiin module snd singel coil hei E core type ignition coil.
      Carburetor type is Pierburg 2e3 model with automatic choke.
      And I must also describe the carburetor trothel cabel gets contracted if I move it close to chassis ground I did notice that strange behavior.
      When I aplly blinker evry thing seams normal but when I turn lights on instead of right blinker on the back side tuns on the left blinker ore bouth on the rear end goes on.
      So Im realy In trobel peopel can smash in to my at night.
      So I need finde solution for this strange behavior.

    Is it hard to come up with some extra hands and muscle to get things moved with this crazy virus?

    • @TinkerJohn_W5CYF
      @TinkerJohn_W5CYF  3 роки тому

      Actually pretty much done with moving although things are a bit crazy around here with lots of sick folks. I've been scheduling videos several months ahead so what you are seeing actually was shot back in summer. Take care .....~John

    Hello sir can you give any good advice how can I use 3 4 6 pin relay to me ignition coil? I dont have 5 pin relay.
    I also have problem me car uses pick up coil /4 pin gm ignition module and E core type ignition coil 4 pins .
    So I try some how to figure out how to manuali retard me ignition timing.
    The 4 pin GM ignition module is sloppy in winter time and I have no way to retard me ignition timing .
    The 5pin gm ignition module has not enough retarding option I like me ignition timing to be more advanved due to bether fuel economi.
    I have 500k potenciometer so I never done those small circuets before .
    So I hoppe for some advice how can I make me ignition timing variabel in degree and if posibly bypass baterry voltage to relay directly or use different capacitors as amplifiers .
    So any help wuld be nice.
    Im not shure if normal relays culd run me ignition coil they did in the past but me ignition module varies frequency from 33-333hz in stages .
    So Im not shure what relay to use that can folow the ignition modules fiering sequence.
