Is 13.26 volts from the + lead out of the coil at idle too much? Has a new volt reg.
Thanks Tod |

I'm not a 914 guru but stock coils are either designed for 6 or 12 volts and that is just the average voltage applied to them. The 12vdc coils are designed to just have the normal 12-14vdc on them the only other coils I know about are the early coils used that were designed to use a big ceramic reducer in a 12vdc run circuit to run on 6 volts. In the start mode they got a straight 12vdc applied through the start circuit usually from the starter that allowed a hotter spark in the start mode to give a hot spark while the starter was cranking and pulling the voltage down. When the key was returned to the run position the reduced voltage circuit with the big resistor or a resistance wire, applied only 6vdc to the coil.
If the 914 reduces the coil voltage to 6 vdc I don't think it is related to temperature but the position of the starter switch, run or start. |
