Oil filled coil

Recommended Posts

bo dawg

I was looking at this k341st engine I found, spec# 71345, mfg in 1984. It has the

Diamond LB 85 12v oil filled coil. Is this oil filled good? I guess I wasn't aware of something of such.

Can I use it to convert my charger 12 magnito ign to battery ign using this coil?

(TT if you read this you know what I mean.)

Thanks B)

Yes, oil filled is good. They are basically the same as a large transformer - which is what an ignition coil actually is. (The oil helps keep them cool.)

That coil should be just what you need for your Charger ignition swap B)

Cool :whistle:B) TT I,m glad you were online.

Well let me ask you , I have the toggle switch that came with it too on the panel everything tied into, it has 4 post on the back. I understand how it was wired to run it. Is that the type I need? heck... it even has the inline fuse too you told me I should have. B)

You can use the DPST switch, but you'll only need two of the terminals. (on the same side)

I suspect the rectifier output was also switch controlled on the K-341. (to keep from accidentally draining the battery)

yes, it was. Does it matter which two I use?

You can use two of the terminals on either side.

Wire orientation doesn't really matter on a SPST or DPST switch, but I usually hook the power feed wire up to the center post. (because DPDT switches must be hooked up that way to function correctly)
