[SEL] Economy Buzzrig Birthday Present

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Steve,
         What you have pictured looks more like a generator than a magneto 
to me. Looks like the engine starts on a battery and then is changed over 
to the (whatever it is) for running. Am I correct on that?
         Dave
PS, If it's a magneto how does the timing work? (Not the trip of the 
points, but the timing for firing the magneto?)
PPS, If I am correct that it is a generator, then it's about the same set 
up as my 15 HP "push button" Domestic. The Domestic generator only produces 
about 3v at the slow speed at which I run it. That's not enough to fire the 
buzz coil on it!
