I've read as many posts here as I could on the topic, googled it, read the articles at Bob Roberts, but still have a couple of questions, especially about the width coil.
How do you tell if they are bad or good? I have tried 2 on my k7000 chassis and neither makes any difference when I adjust it. I started with the core more or less even with the top of the coil and worked it back and forth, no difference, not even slightly. Beyond the sleeve, the coil and the core is there any other component to them? Both are intact and installed correctly. Is it normal to be able to remove the core completely, or is that an indicator it is broken? Is there a set range?
I read the Bob Roberts articles on coils and horizontal width. Pretty good stuff. The next place to look would be C38, but again I tried 2 different caps (same value, factory, does that make a difference?) with no luck on the adjustment. It worked before the trouble I got into recently, so is there another trouble spot in the horizontal section I need to look for or is it a matter of following the schematics back to the problem?
I honestly read and searched as much as I could before I posted this, but could not find much info on the coil itself beyond how to adjust it.
I am SO close to getting this chassis up and running. This is the last hurdle. BTW, the picture is too wide and I can't get it to shrink.
