    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    Hi Leo, This is the easiest and coolest (literally) way to mount it. Working great and no problems. This is taken from the top of the bike w/ the tank off...it's mounted on the left downtube in front of the cylinder. i had to richen the needles one clip and turn the airscrews on the carb...

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    Well it looks like the clamps i bought won't work...the space is not there like the XS. But it will mount w/ tie wraps and the tank will fit on nice (as pictured). I'll run it like this and I am pretty confident that if a 2.5 ohm coil can survive, this 3.5 should survive nicely.

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    Ciao! Luciano. Unfortunately, yes. Looks Like i should be ok. you can tell it fires stronger at idle. that 2.5 ohm coil was pretty pathetic with pro-x pistons and rings, but it was ok with the dykes rings and OEM pistons (probably because the dykes rings seal better at low rpm than any...

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    Thanks Pete, It is a twin cylinder 2 stroke. I just measured the coil I pulled out (not your coil!) w/ my Fluke 16 multi-meter. It measures 2.5 ohms. Now i'm wondering if it is a mikesxs coil replacement (it's covered in all black with pos/neg spade terminals and the bars plastic coated at...

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    ok, did some searching and found out that Pamco Pete said the center bar is mainly for heat dissipation and the reasoning for hard mounting firmly...heat xfer, I'm guessing. so it looks like i didn't fry the coil. I've run a CB750 coil for about a year w/o hard mounting it to frame and...

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    Thanks Travis. I'm hoping Pamco Pete? comes on and tells me, no problem, you ran it on a cold bike for 5 minutes at idle...just make sure you run that wire to ground. So, I'm holding out to see what Pete has to say. It's freshly mounted and only ran it on the stand for about 3-5 minutes...

    17-6810 XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil to XR700 on RD350

    I'm crossing my fingers. I have a Crane Cams XR700 ignition on a 1975 RD350. The ignition is basically a points to electronic trigger ignition requiring a 3 ohm coil, which this is #17-6810 (PAMCO /XS Performance 3 ohm Dual Coil). I'm wondering if i screwed the pooch. I've connected the...
