Coil query

Hi, although not a Zed, it's my Yammagamma. The coil that came with it is a 3 ohm green dyna coil and although the bike runs okay ( post complete rebuild) I have been told the correct coil should be 0.33 ohms, what problems will this difference cause. The secondary coil resistance is different also.
Cheers Rob

Hope this helps. i eventually fitted a "new" Dyna coil bought off a member on here and new Taylor leads. The bike is now A1 . I suspect my main problem was a dodgy lead that was sometimes ok and sometimes not with a slightly high resistance coil. But its happy days now with no pops or misfires on damp days :wink: :wink:

Hi Andy, that's an interesting thread, I did initially have a problem like yours with it not wanting to run, but it was a new ht lead arching to the head, so I replaced it with a new Taylor lead and that solved that problem.
I really just want to set my mind at rest, using the 3 ohm coil in place of the 0.33 ohm coil.

Out of interest, what is the secondary coil resistance and what should it be?

Hi, It should be 3500 ohms and the dyna kicks out 14400 ohms

Hi Rob, Dyna 350 YPVS coil is only 0.7ohm?

What made me ask was the 3 ohm & .33 ohm, all I was going to mention was be careful of the scale on your multi meter ie x1 / x10 / x100 ohm, it can lead you up the garden path if you read it wrong, I have done it myself on motor windings, just thought I would mention.

Hi, the figures I have are off the specification sheets, I haven't actually measured it.
Simon, do you know what colour the dyna coil is, as I will try and get one. I don't really want to mess with the coils because if it burns out the ignition system it will cost me a lot to sort out

The Dyna 0.7ohm for YPVS coils are blue, fit earlier RD's too

My ex wife had a coil.

It looked like a spring off a McPherson strut!!!
