Hello all

Does anyon know a source of low tension coils in the UK?  I need one for an igniter fired hit 'n' miss engine. Hemmingway does not stock them.  I would imagine a call to one of the US engine specailists is required, but which one?

If no source is known, is it possible to use a normal car / bike / lawn mower 6v coil and just use the secondary winding (keeping the primary out of circuit)?

Just to let you know I arrived home in Ireland today from working in Saudi Arabia.  My survey will be in the post tomorrow morning.  Hope it is not too late!

Perhaps someone like College Engineering Supplies would be able to give you a definitive answer.

Alyn Foundry ceased trading from April 2008 for various reasons.  Graham Corry still retains the patterns and drawings for the designs (although not all the designs were drawn up).

The business was/is up for sale, but the asking price was a bit unrealistic considering today's economic climate.

As far as I know he has no stock of any castings for his engines.

 Unfortunately, Jerry Howell doesn't produce the buzzcoil circuit kits any longer.  They are now available from

but at a huge increase in price.

Or you may want to go the deLuxe route and try
