I just so happen to be building a little coil with a
9/60 NST. The problem is spark length vs power...
I scrapped the crap-worth helical primary coil I made,
and swapped it with a pancake at 15 degrees. Im
tapped at 10 turns with 3 to spare. I am using a
static gap for now "this is PART of the problem". My
secondary is 3.5" x 13" wound with 1300 turns.
Coupeling is tight.
Im only getting maby 10" of spark from this coil, and
the spark ain't impressive either. I am at a loss as
to why this little beast SUCKS so badly.
BTW: this is the same coil I had racing sparks with,
cardboard tube primary was the cause.
Throw some ideas @ me. Thanks for any thing you've
got.
