Ignition coils
« on: August 05, 2009, 08:48:39 pm »
I'm wondering which ignition coils people use when running points still & if only the rear plug gets used, most photos I've seen only appear to run 1 lead but I'd like some opinions as to which is best. Bike is a '73 380 & from memory has a NGK B9HS in the front & B8HS at the rear with old coils fitted, front plug was prone to fouling & killing power so I'd like to replace the coil/s see what effect that has
