Does anyone know the resistance of the coils as there areseveral choices and sizes I'm thinking 3ohm's but not sure what they should be :cheers:
Page 7-21 of the workshop manual suggests the following
@seth IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE• Disconnect the spark plug caps and coupler, and remove the ignition coil.
• Measure the ignition coil resistance in both the primary and secondary windings. If the resistance is not within the standard range, replace the ignition coil with a new one.
Tester knob indication: Resistance (Ω)
Ignition coil resistance
Primary : 2 – 4 Ω (+ tap – - tap)
Secondary : 25 – 40 kΩ (Plug cap – Plug cap)
Thanks dave
I've a chance of a set of 3ohm cools so will get them and see how it goes . :cheers:
3 Ohm is bang in the middle so should be fine I'd have said.
I've got a spare set somewhere, can't even remember how I got them but keeping them in case of need. I think someone lent them to Vicki when I was with her & then vanished off the face of the earth so they couldn't be returned.
