Re: [TCML] Sync gap setup

Brad,

It's hard to adjust phase properly by just shifting the disc on the
shaft.  The
position can be very critical.  It helps if
the motor is the type that is mounted in a cradle.  This way you can
leave
the cradle screws slightly loose so the motor can be rotated to
various
positions, and each position can be tested to find the best position
(longest
spark output) by trial and error.  Either that or build my phase
controller circuit.

I second John's suggestion; being able to dial in your gap presentation with a knob is a wonderful thing. I believe Paul Brodie is selling some small variac cores right now (if he has any left); you might contact him if you decide to go this route.
