Could you post a link where DSS advertises the coils you have?

JezzaPeach:
Sure this is it:

Thanks. I believe it's the same product CMSNL offers: https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb500k1-four-england_model14660/coil-rlignition_30501300003p/
A few comments if you allow me. It's a generic product. Colours and gender of the primary leads is 50% incorrect. Both NEG wires are yellow. One should ofcourse be blue, but that's a detail I could live with. The connectors at the NEG wires are male, but should be female. Crimping connectors is an art in itself. Don't ask me how I know. ;) On the plus side, I would not mind the spade connectors yours has at the coils.
More important however: the resistance of the primary circuit should be in the advertisement. When not in the advertisement, it should at least be on the package it is in, so you could return it unopened. Some retailers will not accept returns of electric equipment once opened. When neither is there, for me enough ground to return them. It would be merely out of solidarity with other customers. They should not have to guess. I have no less than four multimeters, one upstairs, one in the garage and two onboard my yacht. Failing to publish the primary resistance, could be for a different reason: the manufacturer cannot guarantee a precision within a band of let's say 0,5Ω. Manufacturer is most likely located in China.

Many thanks again.
