OK- so I got some fine copper wire, prob at least 24 gauge, pretty thin. I stripped the insulation off about 10 inches, then straightened and clamped the wire to a screwdriver shaft. I wound it tightly 9 turns. I cut the coil free, then I fire treated the coil w/ propane torch 5 times to Nano-coat it as Vernie said. I would see it turn bright as I turned it in the torch flame, then let it cool.
The plug wire on the mower is permanently attached to the Magneto coil, and the plug wire terminal is itself a coil of stainless wire I think.
I just crammed the nano treated copper coil over the spark plug tip, and pushed the plug wire on over the copper coil far as it would go. Not the best install, but it was the best I could do for now. Was 99% dark outside. I didn't get a shot of the coil on the plug tip.
I started the mower, my initial impression is that it sounded stronger with a "heavier" exhaust sound. The vibrations in the handle seemed stronger too. Too dark to mow, I only ran it maybe 15 seconds.
One thing I found as I was fire treating, is the coil's end close to the Vice-Grips didn't take the nano coating, even though I went over it repeatedly. Maybe the tool was conducting heat away too fast. Next time, I'll strip off more wire and extend a longer straight section to grip, so the entire copper coil gets even treatment.
So, there's my round One with the K-Coil, as I named it.
