Jesse..That is beautiful...
I'm heading north this morning and will have the windows open from Fort Wayne on..If the wind is from the west I should be able to hear that beauty running..No time to visit this trip but would love to stop in next trip July..may have that radial info by then..
Strap a strip heater to that oil tank and pre heat your oil before starting...
Beautiful control panel..you obviously know something about radial engines with the right starter and mag switches..
Can't wait for the you tube feature presentation....
The Scintilla and Bendix mags are timed different...Although Bendix bought out Scintilla in 1929 they made many different magnetos..The Scintilla is different from any other type...Scintilla Magneto
This magneto is different than other magnetos. It
has a rotating magnet instead of a rotating coil.
You can do the Scintilla Shuffle or have your helper do it..Here is how....
Doing the Scintilla Shuffle, take a good Scintilla magneto, hold
one of the high tension leads in one hand and with the other hand quickly spin the rotor. The
dance or shuffle created by the high voltage will tell you in general terms that the magneto is
working, and the dance it created is called the Scintilla Shuffle. Caution: do not try this at home
if your nerves are frayed or if you are subject to seizures, heart trouble or diarrhea.
Keep up the excellent work..
