Ok, long story, but I stripped my 77 GL of all wiring, and re-wired it from scratch like I've done with all my other bikes, everything’s workin’ great!!! I’ve put in Accel 3 ohm coils. At first I left in the factory ballast to keep the voltage down, but with out the bypass during startup….it’s real hard to start, if at all. I took the ballast out of line and it starts (faster than ever) easily and runs great (stock points for now). I am how ever concerned about overheating the coils.
These are 3 ohm coils, and I think they’re ok, but does anyone know what the ohm rating for the original coils and the ballast are?
Thanks!!
