Continuing the recap of the coil assy.
I ordered some solid AWG22 wires yesterday that should come tomorrow. It is a colored insulation 600V wire. I want them thinnker than what I have (black AWG18).
Plus some of the wires that come to the switches, they go in the same solder posts as the caps I remove, so I decided to wait 'till tomorrow, so I do not have to solder the same post twice.
They use real black tar on these caps. I hate black tar. Especially the soft black tar. Though easy to remove, it fouls up things around.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
