That is a scary amount !! I shall do some of the suggested checks over the weekend and failing that buy some of the M & P ones. Thank you for your guidance and replies one and all.
I think Ash was referring to the prices of genuine coils at D.S. not the pattern ones!
The trouble is that I don't believe that the coils are the problem any longer. In an earlier reply the coil rating was suggested as needing to be around the 4 to 5 ohm and I'm getting a reading of 4.4 ohms. I admit to not being very clever with electrics but I do think things have progressed to another problem, like, I think I've got a short somewhere now !! At my age I just want to ride again, no time to tinker. I'm prepared to cross palms with silver if required ?
The original tool kit with the JIS driver with T bar would do them easy and such a simple tool.
Have a look on sites like eBay or Amazon for JIS screwdrivers. They are well worth having.
