I haven't tried the PT coil on a Full crank Norm as I thought it wouldn't work as the PT coil only has a 2 ended core instead of 3.
The 3 core coils and some 2 core coils like briggs ,the magnetic flow goes one way through the coil then when the magnetic flow is reversed the coil gives a spark but the PT coil with the 2 core, this only has 2 magnets and from memory just one north and one south and doesn't reverse the magnetic flow so I thought even if you got a spark with the PT coil on a 3 core centre the timing would be out.
I may test an early PT coil as they look similar to the Full crank coil but I could check part numbers first .
Looking online for a full crank side pull ,I'm not having any luck seeing a cheap mower ,always previously found one for $10. or less at a tip shop, market ,garage sale ,swap meet, etc.
I bought a few second hand side pull coils on eBay a year ago for about $14.
I was thinking of fitting an electronic Briggs coil on the side pull Victa mowers that I have pinched the coils from.
I didn't think a Briggs Sprint coil will fit under the points flywheel but haven't tested this ,it may fit.
There is usually a coil you can find that will work ,I thought some Kohler motor coils had a larger centre that possibly could fit a victa but would need to check.
