Title: Magneto on a mild engine
Post by: louisb on November 23, 2009, 17:14:03 pm
I think I might be losing it but I got to thinking about using my Vertex mag on the 1914 I am building for my buggy. Mind you its an extremely mild engine and a 010 would suffice, but the thought of the Mag hanging off the back of the buggy just sounds too cool. Someone tell me its a bad idea and save me from myself.

Thanks,

I think it would be a open target for theft

What he said as far as theft, but not a bad idea as far as the cool factor goes. I just like magnetos, I run a Sprint mag or a  Vertex depending on what I want the motor to look like.

Yeah I had not thought of that. And it would be pretty obvious to anyone who knew what one was.

1914 small? I ran a Vertex on my Okrasa TSV-1300 engine in my '51 Split-window and it's the way to go!

Yeah, when did a 1914 become small lol. I guess when 82 x 94s became the norm and a big engine was around 3 liters.  :o  ;D

And just think this all started out with a 1.1 liter 25 hp motor.
