[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 26885, member: 792"] Harleys have used wasted spark coils since the '70's, so the wasted spark must occur before the mixture is rich enough to be persuaded to ignite. The RITA needs a coil in the right impedance range to work. I called Mistral Engineering and they told me the right impedance as an alternate to their standard 2 coils in series. I am not at home now, but will look up the number and post here. (I bought my RITA from Kemps maybe in the 80's, but my mag has done so well - touch wood - that I never put it on the bike. I even have a Phil Primmer GRP mag cowl to mount the coil!) [/QUOTE]
