Hi Jack,
Thank you very much for your comment re the "weird" set up with the Victa twin ignition system. Being a sparky / electric motor rewinder by trade helps. I wonder if you might be able to help with another matter that is stalling my progress in restoring a Victa Model 2 Rotomo. I have mechanically rebuilt the engine BUT the magneto coil is, for the want of a better word, BUGGERED ! It has the Wico - Pacy magneto, type FW ????? . I cannot read the Spec no. as it is too feint maybe FW 159? ? Can you, or any contributor with greater knowledge of such things tell me the type number and where I might source a new / used coil ? The condenser and points are like new. If I have to I will attempt to rewind the coil but that is a lot of work with no guarantee of success afterwards.
Cheers to all,
Wombatini.
PS I was watching a Utube video today whilst searching for these things when I came across a Maytag twin two stroke engine with a Wico magneto. Looks like the very same set up as the Victa twin, simultaneous firing two stroke. But the coils set up was exactly the same - single winding, two ended secondaries going to the plugs. Who copied who...................... maybe ?
