Morini Kanguro Rebuild

Remade X1 coil


At last my rewound X1 coil set was ready for mounting. Of course I only set it up with a single power winding rather than the daft 6VDC and 12VAC system.

The ignition coil seems spot on, achieving nearly 200V peak on kick and not oging above 250V peak when running.

However the power coils are not succesful as they produce only 8.4VAC at idle and don't reach 13V until 3000rpm. I'm not entirely surprised as used 1.2mm wire rather than 1mm which seems to be standard on this coil set. Notably 0.8mm is suggested elsewhere for the early 2 phase system.

One thing worth noting is that the cable retaining clip was catching the rotor at first. Then , the outer copper plate was touching and needed to be pushed and filed a little to clear the path. Tolerances are obviously very tight on this setup.
