Cheap coils on ebay

<< < (3/3)

Piki:
Great Lobo, you are great!!! I remember that some member from the USA website made this upgrade in his 400/500 fours: good originals points, and change the coils for coils of Goldwing 1000,but perhaps I am wrong.......

But if the coils of 750 Four and Goldwing are different that coils from 400/500/550, why DSS sell the aftermarket coils with  the same Part Number!!!!  :o :o ;) ;)

Lobo:
Hi Piki,

Just to say again... my post was 'general' and not specific to Honda motorcycles.  I've no idea etc of DSS part numbers, or whether Gold Wing coils are different to 400F coils. Forgive me...
(but if the part #s are the same...well surely it'd be fine) Bryan... thoughts / comments?

If however, you substitute a ballasted coil (designed to run @ 9v) into an unballasted circuit ... it may well mean you're running the coil at 12v continuously  ... versus its 9v design... meaning something (ie the points / coil) will fail earlier than their intended life. I accept though, in the short term, it may appear better than spec, & just fine.

As a general rule... and I am no engineer / specialist ... I'd suggest, whether it be tyre dimensions, oil, petrol... whatever.. you should stick to what the manufactures intended versus thinking you (we) can do better!

Cheers,
Simon
