Forget above windshield washer suggestion. I did some further research and think the following is closer to your requirement. I do not know how to post a link but Google Amazon.com and enter in Amazon search "12v car washer pump kit' . They claim 135 or more psi and 80 to 100 watts and 1 to 5...

Why not try an automotive windshield washer pump? They force a pretty good flow thru the washer jets so they might have enough pressure. Certainly suitable for water.

The answer is pbvious. You have a Tates compass. They marked their needles backward; which gave rise to the expression "He who has a Tates is lost".

attached is Bill Schmidt's model aero engine ignition circuit

Please note: my handle is changed from canfly to cdn flyr. Attached Figure 1 is the original kit schematic. Figure 2 is the proposed mod to make it a complete ignition module. the feedback winding is not used. The N20 transistor is triggered by a 4v, 33milliamp signal to its base thru the...

Thanks dsage. I think I will just be able to use the transformer, board and transistor; and drive the base thru the points and a resistor with 4v battery voltage. Only the heavier primary coil will be used. this is exactly the Bill Schmidt circuit. I am travelling now and will not be home in...

Sorry, it is the schematic in the seller's description in the Ebay link of Rudy's post #2 above

I have just discovered this thread and have 5 of these kits coming in the mail. Would you believe 5 for under $10US delivered? I am not an electronics guy but it looks to me like the spark frequency is determined by the puncture and recovery of the UF4007 diode triggering the thryistor. This...

I am surprised no one has mentioned "idle bar" glo plugs that we used in the early days of throttled/exhaust restriced glo engines, when fuel/air mixtures were not well regulated, and engines riched out at idle. The concept was a platinum? bar across the bottom of the plug to retain combustion...

Slightly off topic, but has anyone posted use of common household sink downers for tank main bodies? Nice thinwall brass 1.5" dia., various lengths, cheap and available. Nowadays unfortunately many of these are chrome plated.

So, William, some can huff and puff but you pansies from the 70's can't post a pic to prove your claims like this: my brother and I circa 1954
