1977 GL 1000K2 COILS
Moorey:
Can anyone tell me how many ohms the primaries are on just the coil for a 1977 GL 1000k2 are. The coil is a tec FL101 part# 30502371003
I seem to be getting a lot of conflicting info.
Bryanj:
I am at work till 6am but will check my genuine book for you tomorrow
Moorey:
Cheers Bryan.

Assuming it's not a CDi ignition I think GL1000 Goldwings had a coil combined with a ballast resistor. So expect a much lower primary resistance than the standard 'Honda-4" coils. From memory it should be around 2.7 Ohms and the ballast resistor about the same. But Bryan's manual will hopefully confirm this. All I am really saying is that if you encounter a low resistance reading (around half of the 4-5 Ohms for a Honda 4 coil) then don't worry, chances are it's OK.

All I seem to be able to find in the manual is test it in the coil tester. Ballast resistor 3ohms. I just seem to be finding lots of contradicting info and coils listed from 2 t0 5 0hms listed for the GL1000.
I am trying to find out for someone else. Thanks for your input Ash.
