Robin, if you look into the top of the coil where the secondary lead goes,
you will see a sharp needle-like projection that goes into the center of
the lead. Onan used real wire back when these units were made. No sir, none
of that graphite impregnated nylon strand crap for them. RFI was not even
in the picture then. They first introduced resistor spark plugs for RFI
problems, and promptly cut plug service life in half, then they introduced
resistor wires, and ignition related service problems went through the
roof. They went away from flywheel magnetos because they didn't produce
enough voltage to overcome resistor crap. Now we have battery coil ignition
with contact breaker points. Not much better. Put on a pertronix solid
state ignition module and end the problems. JWIWD.
