New coils

I'm in need of a new pair of 6v coils to use with a Boyer setup
What are the new type Lucas ones like?
I've had pvl coils in the past that have only lasted just over a year
I've had made in Taiwan coils that lasted a similar time
What are people using that's available in the UK

You're not over-torquing the clamps are you?
They've got some ridiculously low torque value - in the inch-pounds, so below 1 ft.lb
That'll kill 'em every time!

Fit a double ended coil, proper mounting points and encapsulated windings for reliability

I went for this https://www.trispark.com.au/collect...more/products/12-volt-dual-lead-ignition-coil

But only done 100 miles on it so no reliability info, but I love that it frees up so much space under the tank, removing the tank is now really quick and straightforward.

The single unit also saves a load of weight.

The last Dyna coil I used created over heating issues in my Boyer box, minimum ohms is 3, dyna labelled it as 3 but it measured 2.9. 20 mins in hot weather was enough to turn the box off, 10 mins sitting by the roadside got me 15 mins running time etc etc. Fitted a cheap Harley twin coil with 3.5 ohms and problems gone.

I use the green 3 ohm dyna coil which is a dual lead single coil with the boyer micro digital ignition (red box) I've used the same coil for over 35 years. I've seen 2 types. One has the molded plastic ports coming off the coil at an angle and the other has the 2 ports perpendicular to the coil. I have the latter version. I suppose I should test the resistance and report back to see if it's below 3 ohms now just to verify it's resistance

I also have that green 3 ohm Dyna coil, in a Wassell/Vape electronic ignition.

When live with engine off, 2 amps go through it.
