Did I just ruin my coil

[Samuel Phelps]

Speetitwin 6039 Trying to re-solder the plug wire . It seemed loose from where I had changed the wires a while back . Compared to the other side the spark seemed weaker ..
Can this be fixed or just replace the coil ..

[dave-bernard]

possibly if you can re attach to the wire in the coil.

It’s toast. Soldering coils is very delicate work. Fortunately, a replacement won’t be hard to find.

Does anyone know of a source for one ?
It kinda looks like it just rode in a pocket . The terminal has a ball of sorts where it sat under the casing into a reccess . At first glance .

Digging in a bit further I did find a wire . So lets say by some chance, the grace of god, I was to successfully able to re-solder the terminal back on .. I would need to re-seal it back onto the coil somehow .. Any suggestions ? Epoxy maybe ?

I have been looking for a replacement but no luck so far ..

step one… scrape the wire to shiny metal

same for the wire to connect to it apply some flux or use rosin core solder

solder as fast as possible ..you can try to had a metal clip below the solder joint to absorb some heat before it enters the coil

if successful I would apply 1 minute epoxy to solidify the whose solder area and grab the weld area to keep it from flexing orient the wires the way they will be permanently

hope for the best and try it out.

Crosbyman that is basically what I just did . I wanted to solder the wire from the coil and the wire going to plug at the same time . It took me a while to figure out how to clamp it in position . I think I got a pretty good bond . I didnt use fast set but I used regular JB weld epoxy . Gunna leave it to cure over night still clamped and see what happens .. I used rosin core solder .
Are there other coil alternatives that I can get in case it doesn’t work ?

sorry I am strictly into magnetos early 50 to late 60s

A free want ad in the classified section will net you an original replacement. They are common and reasonably cheap.
