    Philip Duclos Gearless Hit'n Miss Engine

    My diodes showed up before Roy Sholl CDI did. so I fixed the flyswatter circuit running on it now for three hours will change it out when it quits working. I do not recommend the flyswatter circuitboard but those who are brave should know that there are two different circuit boards. ML-02/HT...

    Philip Duclos Gearless Hit'n Miss Engine

    First I should clarify that I have zero experience in the electrical field. having said that I was inspired by Ridders CDI switch and so I have to make one. I fried the circuit not having it grounded very well. Living in the US and not wanting to spend another $20 on a six dollar part I went...
