[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 478955, member: 3278"] [size=5]It is a bit more simple than that. The spark gap is more informative than the color of a spark. If your system will generate spark that will bridge a 1/4 - 3/8" gap you should be good to go. What I will say about color is that a blue looking spark is generally a fatter and healthier spark and will probably bridge a wider gap. If I knew how to post small clips from videos I have taken on my cell phone I would show some very healthy systems. One from a belt drive magneto ignition system on my 1962 V-4 Johnson 75hp and another from the 6V model T coil on my 1913 Evinrude Row Boat motor. That one will send you into orbit if you get nailed by it. [/size] [/QUOTE]
