One thing I forgot to add was that generally to feed a coil, you drop the voltage to 9V with a ballast resistor. If you don't, you'll get a REALLY hot spark that will take out the contacts in the dizzy cap quickly (read eventual missfire).
The Bosch "Blue" has a built in resistor. If you change to another "hot" coil, read the instructions carefully for it's use. Over and out! |
