slash Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm having a problem with the coil on my 650. It has a Lucas rita ignition box, single magnetic pickup and a single dual fire coil. The coil i originally chose is one off a VF1000r, dual fire with replaceable leads but the main reason was the plug leads exited on the side of the coil not bottom. The coils ain't lasting plus their getting harder to find, so i used an automotive coil from a V6 buick. It uses 3 coils all dual fire plus their a dime a dozen. The coil lasted about 10 minutes before packing it in. I assume the new coil is a low ohm and the lucas system, being old tec is high ohm. My question is can i resistor or something the coil outputs on the lucas system to get it to work with the low ohm coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
