"Last thing: for the current to get to 7.8A, winding resistance must
be less than 13/7.8 Ohms = 1.67 Ohms roughly. "

	I have found that a "high energy" coil I bought at a local
speed shop has a resistance of less than an ohm.  However, at
a current of about 10 amps the core saturates, limiting the 
maximum useful current to about 3 amps average, when OFF time
is adjusted for best output.
