cegan09 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 so I recently got parts in to fix my carb problems, only to learn i now have spark issues. One coil is dead and the other going. I want to replace the whole spark system, however can't find what kind of caps to get. I threw a multimeter on the existing caps and got a 9.x kohm reading, so i think they are 10k resistive caps, can anyone confirm this? Would there be any benifit to going with a different cap? Bike is a 76 XS500. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted July 1, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2009 I just got non resistor caps, didn't seem to make any difference to performance, but are black and look nicer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
