Mark Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 ANYONE HELP PLEASE Just loading the stolly up on the lowloader and the coil has gone "kaput", so has anyone got a 24v coil they do not want, laying about, unused that they might like to get rid off, trying to get one from the normal places will take a long time, so I am asking the great forum if they can help a fellow out, PLEASE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Not cheap, but near http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scorpion-Tank-ignition-coil_W0QQitemZ230266878549QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230266878549&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Can you test the coils the same way as the condenser that Clive showed us ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Mark that ebay one would certainly do, it equates to No.1 Mk 3. (I think it is wrongly described as a Scorpion coil which should be the No.6 Mk 1. But often people think something is more impressive if they say it is for a 'tank'.) But remember it is not a 24v coil it is only a 12v coil supplied by a couple of ballast resistors in the junction box that drop it down to 12v. Once you take the fancy bit off the end it seems to be able to accomodate a standard sized coil. So I would go to a motor factors & buy something off the shelf. Trouble is in this world of technology & nitwits, the person at the counter will ask you what car is it for! Many places can't help as "the computer" only works off the make & model. But I would have thought pretty much anything that is 12v would get you out of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Can you test the coils the same way as the condenser that Clive showed us ??? No, but the primary should have a resistance of about 3 or 4 ohms. But take care because of the inductance it is possible to get a shock when doing it. I don't know precisely must the secondary is going to be a few hundred ohms. But there are other issues like shorted turns & leakage. What makes you think it has failed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 John Dews will probably have one off a Ferret & he's just down the road to you.. have his number if you need it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 If you have no luck sourcing one immediately and you're anywhere near RR Services pop in and see Kerry and ask if you can borrow one of mine to get you out of trouble !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
