Hi everybody,
I have a late 1928 A7 chummy, (first of the coil ignition)
I am currently tidying up the wiring and I noticed the ignition feed has been wired off the bacon slicer starter switch. I took the starter switch out to inspect and it was covered in oil, which would explain the sluggish starter motor. My question is should the ignition be wired off the early baconslicer or directly back to the 6v battery? I know the later cars with foward facing starter were wired like this, however the switch was not exposed to oil etc from flywheel. My gut tells me oil on the ignition feed contact would add resistance and effect voltage output.
