My experience with Remy coils was that American coils failed in England because they absorbed damp and were made in a dry climate for a dry climate. The same as 30/40 years ago we suffered in England by moisture getting into our dynamo and electro motor work. At WW. we generally have trouble with magneto fibre absorbing moisture and the contact makers failing. The troubles were never so bad on the European continent and in U.S.A. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
