3ohm green coils

[scrapper]

I was wondering I found find a bike 550 L with coils on it that say 3ohm and are green. Should I consider these to be stock or dynas? I can get them but see no need to if they are just stock or wont fit on my 650. Thanks for any info.

If the plug wires can be removed, they should be Dynas. The Dyna coils also have their name on the sides (DYNA COIL), at least on one side.

If your current ignition system is working fine on your 650, I'd leave it be. The 3 ohm coils would make ignitor work harder compared to the stock 4 ohm coils.

They will work fine.. GS ign call for 3 ohms Points system call for 5 ohms

Okay thanks I'll take a closer look at them.

Tell this guy that works at a scrap yard, that the green coils are an IMPROVEMENT over the stock 20,000 volt coils.They are 30,000 volt coils.

LOL. All you have to do is compare the stock vs. aftermarket coils (be it Dyna or Accel). The aftermarket coils are larger in diameter, which means they have more windings, which increases the output voltage. Coils are nothing more than a voltage amplifiers.

The green coils are 30,000 volts compared to the stock coils 20,000 volts, a big improvement.

If you don't want them,,,,I will take them.....

I just blew a coil.....LOL

Beat me to it...

All 5 sets of suzuki coils that I have checked (1980 and later) measure 4 to 4.2 ohms primary. Less ohms will cause more current to flow thru ignitor- yeah, you get bigger spark but do you need it and will ignitor like it?

[koolaid_kid]

Actually, the spec was "in the neighborhood of", and the standard for aftermarket replacements is 3 Ohms for electronic ignitions and 5 Ohms for points ignitions. It will be fine.

They are and I got them off. I havent checked them yet. They said 98 on the date stamp. I have to ask the plug wires didnt look very good, what will fit on it to try them out. Car or truck wires? Thanks for great info. I have to get front end off the 79 1000 next. I hope it will fit on mine.

not to sound to nasty but was it good for you to???


If for some reason 1 is bad I dont think I would use just 1 I'll let you know.

You can use automotive wires if you use automotive caps. But then you would need to use the screw on pieces on the plugs.
Personally, for about the same price I would get a set of Dyna wires from Z1.
