Coils swap

[Guest]

On my 83 1100 e i've been having trouble with cold starts ,runs rough until i go down the road a little then it seems to run good .My question is can i swap my 83 coils with some 93 gsxr 750 coils to rule out that as a problem? This seems to happen no matter what the temp is outside. I have totally dissasembled dipped carbs in spring runs good other wise.When i say down the road its like two houses and clears out don't know if its spark or fuel but i'd like to swap out coils first. thanks ahead for your help

I've read that one cause for cold starting problems may be that the valves need adjustment.

Another thing to check is Make sure you have 12v on the coils

It's cold! if it clears out in a minute, why worry? These bikes run lean- do you leave the choke on partway long enough? My bike behaves similar even in 75 degrees!

I adjusted the valves about 1500 miles ago so its not that. I haven't checked the volts at the coils yet ,so with the key on it should get 12 volts at the input wires? I'll check that as soon as i can.(cold in my shed) Does anybody know if i can use the coils off the 93 gsxr for my 83 1100 e ?thanks agian for your help
