 |

Dear All:
I am new here and after buying, reading and poring over Bob Nuckolls’ book, I am still as ignorant as ever! (no real news there…)
I have a wood Celebrity biplane powered by a Continental O200A. Starting is done via a Skytec Lightweight starter and 12 v 18 amp battery.
No alternator as it was removed because it weighed more than the plane!! I do have the gears and they seem to work with a B&C O200G which I am ordering from Aircraft Spruce. It says it puts out 14 v and 12 amps.
I want to install it to charge my 12V, 18 Amp battery and provide power to a Sandia transponder and a Flightline radio in the future. For now only to power my Icom IC-A24 Nav Com handheld.
Any suggestions on what I need? Wire gauge? Shielding for radios?
Also, my radio receives a clackety clack noise which sounds like the engine!? Might I need to change the ignition harness??

What is your spark plug part number?
Which magnetos do you have installed?
Do you presently have unshielded (automotive type) spark plug wires?
