coils

[cyclefreak5]

,Hello everybody,I have a 79 gs 750 with an 844 big bore kit stage 3 cam from megacycle and a ported and polished head. My question is this would a bad rectifier cause the coils too go bad. It cuts out like a light switch after it gets hot but runs like a raped,ape when its cold...I have the green dynamics coils and the electronic ignition thanx

Howdy cyclefreak. You'll find a lot of your answers in the Stator papers, located at the bottom of this page here. Basscliff will be along shortly to give you a better welcome though so please make sure you really read through his stuff.

Hi Mr. cyclefreak5,

Yes, coils have been known to go thermally intermittent. I dislike intermittent problems. You can find ignition troubleshooting tips on my site, but I think it would be easier to borrow a set of coils and see if the problem goes away. Now let me share the love.
