[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 9923, member: 4034"] [b]Coils[/b] I used generic Japanese coils (Kawasaki I think) at 3.5 ohms. I had a lot of trouble with coils dying because, I thought, they had overheated if I left the ignition on. This happened when I stopped for fuel, changing the coil got me going again. (My coil is beneath the magneto cowl.) But when I took four coils to my local dealer to find out which one was the only one that worked, they all did. This made me think that perhaps I had another problem - but have no idea what it could have been. I was told that a modern ignition system would have a sensor that cut off the coil if no signal came through, but find it difficult to believe that coils could overheat in a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
