Hello all,

I can also tell my story about the coil

In the end of last year I realized a more and more worse starting behavior of my engine. In the beginning of this year that behavior was so annoying that there was something to do. Especially at hot engine conditions I had enormous problems awaking my engine.

The situation was so, that the ignition seems to be completely dead while the starter motor is running. At the time when the starter motor was currentless the ignition worked and the engine started promptly.

An other worse behavior was under driving conditions. When I drove downhill, without load, I realized bucking (In german we call that behavior “Schieberuckeln” ).

As the fuel system was O.K. ( new pump, clean carburetor, new filter, new hoses ) I thought I should buy a new coil.

Furthermore my coil was very old ( 20 Years ? ) and mounted horizontal.

So I decided to buy a new MSD high vibration coil ( 8222 with epoxy) and a new ballast resistor.

After installation of those new parts – the sun was shining.

Everything runs as it should, starting behavior is fine ( no matter if cold or hot ), idling is much better and this bucking is also eliminated.

That’s my experience.

Regards

Werner
