| Post subject: | Coil ohms |
I drove my 2cv round last night on a suck it and see basis with the bmw engine fitted . It has electronic ignition but as I did not have a coil I put a 2cv (2nd hand ) 3ohms? one on and it seemed fine .. Today it seemed reluctant to start so I put a visa 2nd hand one (0.6 to 0.8 ohms I think) on and it starts fine..before ibuy a proper bmw one Im curious .Im not sure of the ohms needs of the BMW but if its requirements are 2 ohms is it more likely to be damaged by .8 ohms or 3 ohms Because if 3 is not a problem I would rather buy a harley one because I can use it on other vehicles if neccessary |

Kevin, the higher resistance (3.5 ohm) coil is safer if you don't know what the exact requirement of the BMW ignition unit may be. Once you find out what's needed, there's a range of stock Harley coils to choose from... The points type ( 31609-65A ) are 4.5 to 5.0 ohms and the electronic ones (31614-83A ) are 2.3 to 2.8 ohms. ken. |
