@@805ROADKING I believe so as well. There may be some attendees that are unaware that a magneto coil can be restored to operation when no replacement can be sourced.
Reminds me of when I was a kid (I'm 75) and I would wrap copper wire around a cardboard toilet paper roll to make a tuner for a crystal radio. No batteries etc. it worked without power of any kind I'm aware of, just magic! I have been very lucky, I have worked on small engines most of my life. I still own a 1949 Cushman Highlander motor scooter I bought when I was 14 and have kept it running all these years. Now I only ride it to antique car and bike shows.
many years ago I worked at a place in Canada called magneto sales ,I wound hundreds of mags of all types for all sorts of engines and charging coils ,If we had to do them by hand like that we all would have gone permanently cross eyed ,but that is an excellent way to do small batches for a hobby or special and rare mags, way to costly for most mags and charging coils.One of the biggest mistakes that is made ,is winding in the direction .Good job, thanks for the video.
Friction Tape... I remember my dad showing me that friction tape, when pulled off the spool in the dark you can see light emitted at the point where the tape is pulled away from the spool. Is that where the name came from "friction tape"?
As a kid my Grandfather has rolls of that friction tape in the basement and I remember thinking it was "the worst electrical tape ever" LOL I still have some!
Hey Bill, That was interesting, even mentioned bat handles and pine tar in the tape!! Sometimes YT will send a link comment to my SPAM but I didn't see yours!! Thanks for trying to send it!!☺
I really like the fact that you are doing this yourself. Not many people would try that. I used many rolls of friction tape back in the 60s and 70s when I was with the telephone company. It is good stuff.
Looks like the work on that old coil is winding down ☺ Jersey gloves,,, that was a good one. All the stuff you guys have, a shore, cows, and now gloves,,,, geez.
Only slightly more exciting than watching paint dry, yet I watched the whole thing, can't help but wonder how many feet of wire is there and ofcourse what the resistance is, nice job and have a happy independence day
I been hoping you would do a nice demo since you built the winding apparatus so thanks for this, it's nice to watch in a short video, but I can only begin to imagine how tedious a job doing the secondary is, long, boring and requires full concentration. As Mike rightly says, however, it's one of those jobs that need to be done if you want to preserve and enjoy period engines.
I love it. Thanks for sharing this. I cannot wait to see you finish this. But I do get it. But I have a question is it the same principle as on a maytag 92 coil. It could be done the same way. I was just wondering I'm thinking that it is.
@@805ROADKING Thanks for that, just looked and find my memory has let me down, I have watched and previously liked it. So thanks again, time to refresh my memory 🍻
Good stuff guys! It's a lot like how I used to wind guitar pickups.
Thanks Jeff!!☺
What great job on rewinding the coil I have fixed transformers and coils in radios but I have never rewound a coil for a briggs!
Thanks Rich!!☺
Did you ever consider bringing this apparatus to a show and giving rewinding seminar?
We never thought about it but I bet that would go over well!!☺

Duct tape does similar
@@805ROADKING Might be made different today, I'm 72 and it was a lot of years ago when I was a kid..... My wife disagrees, says I will never grow up.

A steady hand and patience ,Both of which mike has ! Great share King .. ENJOYED
Thanks Shawn!! Yeah he's steady as a rock!!☺
That coil winding machine is a handy tool. Cheers my friend
Thanks Lloyd!! We're happy with the way it working!! I'm anxious to try my hand at the secondary!!☺
Great guys, good to see coil rewinding, all the best, happy 4th
Thanks Martin!!☺
Mike making it look easy, can't wait for part 2
Hope you Guys and family have a Great 4th July weekend 👍
Thanks Bruce!! Have a great holiday Bud!!☺
You and Mike may have a cottage industry on your hands there, rewinding antique coils - something to think about!
Alotta work and very time consuming!! It would be a good gig for somebody though!!☺
Thanks for sharing. Thats pretty cool. Mike is such a knowledgeable guy. Have a great holiday weekend guys!!
Thanks Bob!! Enjoy your holiday Bud!!☺
Nice job. Very hypnotic, watching it wind.👍
Thanks Tony!!☺

We've all forgotten about the most famous Tomato in the world!!☺
This is great - it has been a long time since the first video, can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks Chris!! Hopefully it doesn't take another 6 months to finish it!!☺
It's easy, just stick it in the VCR and press the rewind button... :P
What a slick setup!
Thanks Matt!!☺
That's a very interesting process!
Yeah Buddy!! You'd probably be good at that, it takes alotta patience!!☺
You ought to try Scotch 27 tape. It works well when reworking coils of all kinds.
We'll have to check it out!!☺

Yeah Buddy!! The secondary is alot tougher because the wire is so thin!!☺
Any links to where you get your spools of wire?
www.ebay.com
I have like 4 or 5 I need wrapped is that something you can do for me ?
Was part 3 ever made showing winding the secondary?
Get ready to count to high numbers on that secondary!
Yeah Buddy!! I think the last one we did was 400 turns per layer and it was 23 layers!!☺
This was a good one. Is that power window motor?
Thanks Frank!! That's not a window motor but it very similar, I'm sure you could probably use one!!☺
Could you use some talc or paint between layers to change up background? Just speculating.
Talc sounds like a pretty good idea!!☺
Been waiting for this :) thanks guys!!
Thanks for checking it out Tom!!☺
Like #17
Thanks for the video!
Life is a learning curve!
HINDSIGHT is 20-15!

Thanks A K!! Yeah the 92 would almost be identical!!☺
I could have watched this for an hour
Yeah Buddy!! It's kinda relaxing if you're not the one doing it!!☺
The layers you wrap that coil the hotter the spark? Is that correct?
Yeah Buddy!! But you are limited by the space under the magneto!! Too much winding and it won't fit!!☺
Cool little machine buddy
Thanks Bud!! Hope you and the Family are doing well!! Have a good holiday!!
What S.W.G. are yous using,.? ,. & where are both ends terminated on the laminates ?
The Primary is 21 AWG and the Secondary is 36 AWG!! They just terminate on a rivet!!☺
Interesting winding machine, any chance of a link please ?

Would love to know what gauge wire you used for rewinding your coil I have a coil out of a model ZZ Briggs And have not been having luck finding one
21 Gauge & 36 Gauge

great job!

We picked that up at the hardware store!!☺

Wow...never thought about rewinding a coil. I guess I thought it was witchcraft! A power feed for the wire cross feed would be handy!

You guys can fix just about anything.
Thanks alot Jim!!☺

Great demonstration of winding the Primary. You guys do good work .Thanks for the look.
