Trouble Shooting Ignition

[Mountain Dew]

I'm new to Model T's. I'm trying to get my coils to buzz. They buzzed for a while and then quit. I have 6v at the contacts. I'm looking for basic Model T ignition trouble shooting procedures.

Jump over to the MTFCA site forum & do a search - tons of info !

The ******** circuit for each individual coil only functions when the timer roller contact breaker is making contact with the coil terminal it's timed to fire. If this is a direct battery test then the ******** is likely needing cleaning and adjustment. These coils can be overhauled if there is a problem with the coil, the condenser, or the ********.

Does anyone have a schematic diagram of the ignition system?

This is a good breakdown that includes one of the coils and the system.

It is geared toward one of the suppliers to Ford but there were others as well.
