Eisemann 71L magneto

I need help is there any way to put a OMC coil on this Eisemann magneto. There are lamanets on the end but there is a solid round rod that connects the two ends . I think the rod is welded or pressed on to the lamanets. I took it apart thinking that the center would be square and the same as the ends. Should I put a fork in it and say I’m done or is there a way to salvage this coil ? Eisemann 71L magneto

Sure is, there is a writeup in one of the older Outboarders….I helped with the article but it was written by Jim Moffatt

You cannot machine a part like that if it has laminates on the ends and a solid in the middle, so obviously, it should come apart. I haven’t done one of those but I’ve modified several other types. See if that round bar will come out by tapping the laminate away from the bar. Go gently. I think those brass grommets are there to hold the laminates together and should not be part of the round rod.

Thanks, the laminates run all the way through the rod witch is not one piece but laminated too. I drove the brass grommets out and gently separated the lamanets there were 2 pins holding the bar together. Now can I put the square hole on the OMC coil on the round lamantes on this coil with out making square? I will send a picture of the lamanets. Thanks Richard White and George Emmanuel

Each laminate is modified differently, I performed this exact procedure on the same coil heel…. Let me find the info this evening and I will post the Outboarder is from between 2007 and 2009 detailed pics are in there. My Neptune Mastertwin was the motor I did this conversion on, and save a bd upper crankshaft seal the motor runs well

The thing I remember seeing in articles was to cut half the laminates in one place, and half in a different place, so you can reassemble them with the joints alternating. Using ][ to show where the laminations have been cut:

Assuming the new coil leaves enough space on either side to run a bolt thru to keep the stack together.

Putting the widest (old center) laminations on the outside of the stack might give you a square enough profile to hold a coil that has a square hole….

I have put the OMS coil on the Eisemann heels I cut the lammanets in two different places to stagger the cuts and reattached them. Do you think that I will have to change the condenser or use the old 71L eisemann condenser ? I have squared up the lammanets and put it on the motor. I will have to add some more wire from the condenser to the coil but think it will work. any suggestions posted pictures below.

Ok, the problem is those cuts need to fall in a location that has them inside the coil, if that makes sense, here are my photos of when I did this. I USED 2 OMC coils on this laminate for my Neptune Mastertwin

Nice show and tell. Thank you.

Richard, I assume that worked for you, but I’m surprised that it did. I’ll have to get out my old textbook on transformers and read up on the subject.
