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 positive and negative to the coil, but had to creatively tie wrap the coil to the frame. The tank won't go on w/ the coil bolted in place..
I started and ran the bike for about 5 minutes. Since i did not bolt the coil to ground by the holes in the bar running through the center, I am going to run a ground wire through one of the holes and locate the other to the frame.
I am hoping I didn't fry this coil, since i have run a dual spark CB750 coil not hard mounted to the frame for quite awhile.
So, is the coil ok and all I have to do is ground the coil or did i fry it?
The bike seems to be running ok, and i think if i truly fried it, it would stop working right?
