Anyhow. I have some yellow wiring to get back to

Ahhh - a Lucas Loom - don't let the smoke out.

Monochromatic would make sense.  Odd color, though.  I've seen them in orange and bright red, albeit only for short periods of time.

Eventually they tend to become mostly black.

 In an effort to put things right I've done you a diagram Grumm, it's as I remember how it went, you should be able to sort it from here....



trust me , I'm an expert in yellowness, just for the fun of it see if you can find me in this shot..hint, I'm the guy with the pot gut standing next to guy with the big shirt on..... standing with some Limeys......

Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

I'm running 10° valve locs with a fancy shape that holds a lash cap

At the risk of sound like more of a tosser than normal, is turning up some lash caps an opportunity to fix some of the rocker geometry sagas?

Those coils will give you a blue spark, I think James would prefer yellow ones.

I would make the lash caps out of yellonium.  :cheers: Wayno

Grummy, that resistor will be a 440 K.
 
Looking over the schematic, I'm a bit confused.  I'm not seeing provisions for a power supply, so should I assume you're using passive banana technology?  Very old school.  Just be careful of potassium electrolytic discharge.  If you switch out to an active banana, I'd try to find some sort of latex sheath, and wrap it tight before I used it.  A lot less clean-up should it blow.
 
Or you could just shunt it to frame.

It's good that you have the smoke reservoir in the circuit.  Once the banana discharges, it gives the circuit time to recharge.

Again, very old school. 
     
If you want to further tune the engine, I'd suggest an audio taper pot.

In which case you should leave it to a qualified Yelectrician. :cheers:

I'm not sure about the red coils, and this year I think we'll use ceramic ducks

Stand back, citizens, the man has a banana sheath.

Looks a tad uncomfortable compared to what I had in mind! :-o

yeah, you can't beat new age ceramics......

There is nothing he cannot do, no tool he does not have.....but I have to admit, that one surprised even me.

You didn't include a proper phase inverter.  See attached schematic diaphram:
