Replacement ignition coil

[ukzknos]

Thats what I did with my cheap K100 dual output coil.

Nobody, it seems, is as cheap as I am!

If you were really cheap you would have gone for the coil off a China cloned CB250 not a K100!

It was close to the weight of one of the bosch blue coils.  You cannot use the original mounts, but mine had broken anyway, both on the frame and I had already replaced the clamps more than once.

A little bit of cutting and bashing on the coil had the new coil mounted underneath the 'relay tray' underneath the front of the tank on the right hande side.  Near where your front coil is currently mounted.

Half an hour with a hacksaw and a drill.  Been there for a few years now.  1979 R65 with point ignition.

I get the impression people don't believe me....Or would prefer to spend lots of $/£ unnecessarily.  Contentious, I know.

Fitted a Dyna coil DC1-1 (green 3 Ohm) today and I have to say the engine started really easily when compared with what it was like previously.
Also when I turned the engine over with a plug earthed to the side of the cylinder the spark was noticeably stronger.
Hopefully this will be a good investment to replace the original 30 year old coils!

+1 on the Dyna Coil.  JUst replace the two Bosch with the one Dyna.  

15 wire to one side and the 1 wire to the other with no connecter wire between.  Simple.

I like Rick at Motoelectric because he has a monting bracket to go with the new coil.  I mounted on the back coil bracket on my 1980 as the front one is broken.

I mounted mine on the back coil mount too as the front one broke when I was de-mounting the coil! (also 1980) spooky!!

Its a weak spot!  Many of the 79 - 80 bikes have this problem.  When it first broke,  I chopped off a CocaCola plastic bottle pushed it over the front coil to keep the thing fron grounding out my wriing connectors, and tye wrapped it to the relay tray.  I did my 2006 50 hours coast to coast with this set up.  7500 miles in three weeks in Sept 2006 with no problems.

Crazy!

My front coil was mounted to the main frame tube with zip-ties for decades.

I just switched to over-side hose clamps a few years ago.

Way ghetto, Rob. I love it.   Monte
