Failing coil

Post by tigerman7347 » Sun Apr 08, 2012 12:40 am

Right, I have a unilite dizzy , unilite ballast resistor and a unilite coil. So why is the coil failing ? Wiring is ok. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rob

Hi Rob,

How old is the coil? It sounds like it has developed an internal fault. You could try replacing the ballast resistor or re-terminate the connections to the resistor. Is it the correct coil for a ballast style ignition system?
