[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 26890, member: 485"] Hello All, Thanks for your input, My double coil came from the rita man, I spoke to Goff the other day, Didn't get on with him,he may have had a bad day, Or as the wife would say It's Me !! Good bit from Howard, His bloke says"A higher resistance coil may give slightly less spark, But will draw less power", Come to think of it ,Befor with 2 6v coils, The ampmeter gave a bigger discharge when switched on, I asked Goff what the resistance of his coils was and he said he didn't know !!. So Matty have I got to look for a low number resistance ?, Unlike Howard I am not worried about it taking too much power because I have a flash Alt' from the USA, I don't know what the resistance was on that 12v coil I used to get home with, Maybe that was why It ran faster ? When the bikes going it goes like stink, I thought with 28mm carbs it would be slow, But not a bit of it !!. Thanks Again Bill. [/QUOTE]
