82 1100G coils

[omaharj]

Can I get some help on where to get a coil cheap? I'm sure I don't want used (Am I?) and I have seen some one-size-fits-all types on ebay. I don't want to spend money twice on this. The best I can come up with is in the $80 range. TIA RJ

There is a couple of "buy it now" on Fleabay right now for 9.99.

I would go with a Dynatek but you're looking at $120 a set.

Thanks Chef. You don't think I should worry that they're used? What's the life span of coils.? While I'm asking questions,is there any difference between 1-4 and 2-3?:-D Thanks again,RJ

The coils are the same just the numbers on the wires will match the cylinder plug.

I've always tested coils before selling them but you never know with Fleabay sellers. It's more the luck of the draw. All I know is that you could buy all the coils I just gave you the links to for less than a set of new ones and chances are good one coil will work. :shock:

I've never had a coil burn out unless there were issues with the R/R.

Coils tend to work or not work as Bill says. The insulation inside them can break down with age & excess heat though as they are basically a big capacitor. I replaced with Dyna. Accel ones are good too & may fit a little easier as the leads attach in a slightly diff direction.
I have a stock one off a 1000G with the leads removed ready for replacement if that's of interest. You'd need to re-fit the plug to fit to the wiring harness as well as new leads as I used it on the Dyna's. I left enough wire to make the join though.

Mine had wires attached like in the last link, the other two appear to have spade connectors. Prob a couple of years newer as mine's an 80. Imagine they are the same. It was definitely working when I took it off. I swapped them as i tried to change leads but the other one didn't want to play ball & one was stuck fast so it was scrap. I kept this one as a spare.

You can have it for similar money if you want it. Just let me know.
