Jim: The Wright C-70 has turned into a dog fight. I may not be able to afford it.

Missouri is draggin' its feet on our tax refund.....................................Pot Likkers!

Looks like I'm in need of a coil for the 028..
It just stopped running today after I got the 3/8 set up on it... I can make it idle, but throttling up is out of the question..
Still has 190lbs of comp..
Really weird..
I may have a look at the key way on the flywheel.. See if I sheared it...
But that spark looks weak and yellow...

I know a guy who might have 1 or 5 if you find you need one. The 024 and 026 coils will work if you use the longer plug wire.

would the spark be weak and not throttle up if it was retarded? wouldnt the spark be the same? just wondering...learning :)

It should be, yes...
But before replacing a part, I'll check all possible issues... Had the key not been thinned and the timing advanced, I wouldn't even consider the flywheel an option.....

What did the Wright C70 bring, I didn't find it in the completed listings?

$233.50 plus shipping. About fifty bux past my monthly allowence.

I'll have to nurse my wounds with the Jonsered 670.

But, there is a Solo 640 that looks yummy............................................... Red/white like a kitched appliance from the '50's.

they make loctite for rotational forces, I wonder if it would help on a flywheel with a thinned key for extra insurance?
 
Observation: The electronic/solid state ignitions don't make good spark at cranking speed like the old magneto/points system. I've driven some with my 1/2" drill motor rated at 300 rpm and can barely detect a spark. And, you must have the plug firmly grounded as in Vice Grips. Turn out the room lights.
