So potentially if I moved the purple wire to the point where the 15v was it might regulate at 14.5v and be ok? I will try it, have no issue changing the regulator (external) but I don't want to throw parts where not required.

Hi everyone, I was out yesterday, I have the supply voltage to the coil under control.
Battery now at about 13.5v and coil is see around 9.5 volts which I believe is ok. (There was a small pot on the back of the regulator) Unfortunately the coil is still getting mega hot and starts to cut out after about 40 minutes, then limp home in idle. Any other ideas, i have access to another e-spark module to try but don't want to risk damaging it, now the voltage is under control i will give it a go. Is there anything else that would cause this hot condition failing? Distributor cap, main HT lead etc?? |
