Subject: M14PEngines-List: Booster coil

My booster coil is 1940's vintage type with no case.  It took only one wire
for power (12v system) to hook it up and it is grounded through the
case/mount.  Looking at pictures of others set up with the newer (relatively
speaking) ones that have a case on them I see two small wires going in?  Do
these with the case need an external ground wire?  


Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

All the encased or open booster coils we have worked with require only one  
wire for the input voltage, 12 or 24 depending on the system.  If the coil  is

mounted with adel clamps or other nonconductive means, a second ground wire  
is required to ground the case to the airframe.  This may be what you have  
noticed in some photos.

Thanks, that is what I noticed both on a Pitts 12 and another Moose.  They
both had adel clamps holding it to the engine mount..  The person who asked
me will probably join this list but I didn't want to pass on bad info.
