Hi everyone

I have just recently bought this bike with an intention to get it back up and running It was a complete basket case when I bought it and some of the parts are still missing , However I know for sure the ht coil is completely shot , As my bike is of the cdi type can I use any 6 VOLT Ac coil or must it be the specific type ???? If so any ideas where I could source one ?

Thanks for reading

Stu

Hi Stu, welcome to the forum!, please take a few moments to post a welcome note in the newbie section just so we can get to know you a little better.

Congrats on buying a DT, i recently bought one as a restoration project, then i bought another one to strip for parts, if you have a haynes manual and a multimeter you should be able to test the resistance of your coil, as for sourcing one, yambits is good, as is ebay, alternatively i think i have a couple of spares kicking around

Hi thanks for the help mate , I am quite new to this computer stuff and that , Yes I have measured the resistance , The actual internal pin that screws into the ht lead as just corroded away , I can not seem a way to open it as it is sealed as you probably no , I will try Yambits again as I have had a few things off them Does it have to be a specific type or any type ?

Cheers mate

Stu

not 100% sure but i cant see why you cant use any 6v coil aslong as the resistance ratings are the same as the DTs'

Cheers

I will have a look around , on ebay and Yambits has you suggested

Stu

We have The correct type CDi coil for your bike in stock

BTW cdi works at 200 volts, don't test it with your tongue
