jianpaul Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 hi, bike developed a problem and left hand ignition coil for cyls 1 and 4 split open causing fuses to blow.have now changed both coils for all cyls and only firing on cyls 2 and 3 but coil for cyls 1 and 4 gets warm ans does not spark as checked for that when i changed both coils over, also noticed the electric rev counter is not working as well. could some please help me out as running out of ideas. could someone also shed some light on the little electric box with a four pin connector sat on a ally heatshield attached to the frame with two phillips screws behind the left hand side pannel as been told there are two igniter boxes on the xj600 pre div or is it the regulator/rectifier unit. will be most appreciative for any help , suggestions , and advise offered. ian.

grizzlydan Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 What you're describing sounds like the reg/rectifier. There is only 1 cdi unit on XJ's but you might have the type that has 2 plugs going into it (1 fourpin & 1 sixpin) which is black plastic in appearance.

grizzlydan Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 can do but then again check all the connections between the CDI & the coils coz a short can also cause it. let me know what type the CDI is as i may have one coz i scrapped my old one a couple of years ago & still have some parts left (most of the electrics interfitted with my FZ).

jianpaul Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 sorry dan forgot to say that it is the cdi with the 4 pin and 6 pin ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlydan Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Right the one I've got is part no. TID14-05 4U8-10 so i don't know if it would help. It would fit as it has 4pin & 6pin. This one might be off an old XJ550 so I'll have another look round the shed as i know i've got a couple of other ignitors somewhere. They all should work as they came off bikes that had been working til being writen off in crashes (my ex's were good at crashing or putting chains through the back of engines).
