Hey everyone,
I have a 1980 with TCI ignition. My coil is bad and I need a temporary replacement ASAP.
I found a local guy with a bunch of used ignition coils off of old bikes. He will sell me one for real cheap.
What do I need to look up to know if the coil will work on an XS650? It needs to be dual output, I know that. Is my only other concern the primary resistance value? What about secondary resistance? What type of range is allowable with a TCI ignition?
Also, my spark plug caps are each approximately 8,700 ohms. Is this too high? I thought they should be ~5,000 ohms.
Best,
Adam
