[QUOTE="Howard, post: 11661, member: 271"] Just a thought from the weekend - I've been working on the bike and my brain (such as it is) starts to go off at a tangent when I'm doing mundane tasks like paint stripping and polishing. Has anyone tried fitting a twin with a single coil with twin outputs? ie Two sets of points switching one coil with two plug leads. Seems common on parallel twins and In-line fours. As I see it there will be an extra spark on the non firing cylinder somewhere with the exhaust open or with both valves open. I can't see this will cause a problem, and I could hide a modern single coil easily under the mag cover. Could I try this by connecting my two Lucas coils to both sets of points? :confused: [/QUOTE]
