That's really clever. I melted one of those wires early in phase 1 and had to come up with adel clamps mounted to the intake tube.

Well the magnet was reversed. Which if anybody in the future reads this the awrovee book is confusing. Especially with the different compasses. If the magnet holder is at 12 o’clock or facing up, the top of the magnet when placed in the holder on the flywheel is north or out to the world where the South Pole should be facing toward the center of the engine. I utilized a polarity tester that cost 19 on Amazon but saved me struggling with the different compasses.

Thank you all for your help.
