From the web site:
PLEASE NOTE. Single & Three phase boxes
Due to the sensitive nature of both the single and three phase boxes it is VERY important to fit spark plug caps of the 5000ohm resistive type.
Failure to do so will cause overloading.
Yep, cheers RVich, but there's no reason to conclude that that was written for anything other than an original points-based system. With modern EMI/EMC directives you might hope that a modern Boyer or equivalent might be kinder in the way of conducted transients on the bike's supply. (S'pose you could also argue that the rect/reg should be more robust too!)
