    help! voltage double at coils!

    So, I have an 82 suzuki gs750e. I did a coil relay mod to try and fix it, but it didn't seem to help. Now when I check the coil voltage, it's 24! Should it be 12? What could it be?

    A voltage doubler gizmo- could be money in this! Where are you measuring this and just what were you trying to do that "didn't seem to help"? Anyways, try another multimeter or measure a car's battery to check your meter out.

      While voltage doublers exist, I don't see how you can make one using a relay.
      Are you using one of the coil relay mod designs from here? What points are you using for your measurements?

        Is your multi meter on the right setting?
