Lightspeed Plasma 3 Ignition Coil replacement

[Michael Wellenzohn]

Hello,

I have a defective Light speed Plasma 3 ignition coil after 9 years in my RV-10. I learned that this ignition coil model is not available anymore form LSE. The Model is PLV Art. Nr. 356 1 00.
The coil is still available from PLV (German Company) but it has a brass contact pin inside of the insolation (see middle pictures) which LSE managed to remove.

My question is, has anyone experience how to remove the existing brass pins in the PVL to allow to insert the LME pins?

Kind Regards
Michael

I bought some for my One Desing from France last year.

The delivery time estimates were off by alot (thanks, Covid), but otherwise it worked ok.

Failed spade connection

Is there anything better from these guys?

On my RV9A that I just bought it has these spade connections on the coil pack that are loose to the point that they would have failed shortly if I had not discovered it.

A coil pack with a better locking system on the electrical connections then just a simple spade connections in a high vibration environment.

Even the automotive industry hasn't used stuff like this since the 60's

No but Nology sells the coils. P.N. 152 001 070, PFC-6D here. Triumph motorcycle coils, as I recall

Or anything with connections more secure then the spade connections?

A spade connection properly installed, has better conductivity than an eye and screw...... Install it properly and you will have no problem with them.

Safety the connectors up to the coil with either waxed cord or zip ties. Confirm that they grip properly when you shove them on (loose / wiggly not OK).

Never saw wasted spark coils in the '60's that I can recall....
