    Coil question

    The project bike is having some issue with running properly. I made some measurements ont he coils (plug cap to plug cap) and they appear open. I thought they should have measured about 50k or so between them. Am I wrong, or are the coils bad?

    My 1100E manual says 3-5 Ohms primary and 31-33 KOhms secondary. The secondary is read through the plug caps.

    Try unscrewing the Caps and see if the resistor in one of the caps is open. My guess is you have a bad wire or cap.

      Re: Coil question

      My 1150 factory manual says 20K to 40k ohms resistance between the plug caps. However, I am running Accel coils, non resistor wires and non risistor plug caps now. I have about 14K ohms reistance between the plug caps and the bike runs better than ever. Resistance at the coil terminals/primary should be between 2 and 5 ohms with average being about 3 or slightly more. Anything between 2 and 5 is within limits for the factory electronic ignition according to Suzuki.

        Thanks guys. I thought you should get a reading between the caps. It's funny that I don't but I've got a blue spark when the plugs are out.
