    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Coil check

I have some Accel coils sitting around my bin of goodies. p/n 140403

I'm testing both primary at 3.5ohm and secondary comes in at 16.55 for one and 17.47 for the other - both fitted with 8.8mm suppression wires and the black rubber caps that come on the Accel setups.

These are the coils listed for my 1150, but do I need to put different caps on to get the secondary up a bit higher?
 
Sorry - specs in my manual say 30-40Kohms for the secondary, but I thought aftermarkets were okay to be lower? Just not sure if ~17k is too low.
 
So is that 16.55 and 17.47 kohms secondary over caps? The few that I've checked are between 24 and 34 kohms - seems to depend on cap variations. I doubt that a lower reading would be a issue -unless it effects timing slightly.
 
If ohms are lower than normal it is likely that there is s short reading fewer windings

Yeah, with the black rubber "caps" that come on the Accel setups. They aren't resistance caps as far as I know. I have some resistance caps I could thread on those wires though.
