Yes, I did tell Mark that I was "POSITIVE" of the polarity of the coils. Thus why I did not trust myself to build an engine.
I have gone back and tested the coil joiner with the Ohm meter and checking polarity both ways on both terminals, I show an open circuit. Is that an indication that it is bad, or does it require a certain voltage before the circuit will be complete? I am currently running on the points only because I am sure the Crane unit has been blown. Can this unit be replaced, or does it have to be sent back to William for repair? If it has to be sent back, I hope William will be willing to fix it at CC in Barnwell. So, maybe it was not the polarity on the coil, but the Capacitor. Anyway, it is running and I now have a renewed energy to getting this finished in time for Barnwell. Thanks to Mark for the divine intervention, I really appreciate it. Today, I took off the EFS-3A and shipped it back to Ellison. I put on one of my old EFS-2 and the engine runs as you would expect it to run. I don't have a cowling of any kind, so am limited to very short runs for testing purposes only. The Ellison will be back in time for Barnwell.
