IGNITION COMPONENTS

Ignition coil

The coil for the programmed ignition system is mounted on the front of the engine. The coil has a lower primary winding resistance (0.63 to 0.77 ohms at 20°C) than a coil in a conventional ignition system. This allows the full h.t. output to be reached faster and so makes the coil operation more consistent throughout the engine speed range.
