Jaguar XJ6 2.8 1973 - Coil problems # Archived Message
Posted by Les Smith on August 26, 2009, 6:25 pm
Hi All. Got this in at the moment. Keeps overheating coil. Customer has had a play at it. Its a positive earth. The Kv's on the scope are upside down. Coil starts off at 1.8 ohms, it runs for 20 mins and misfires and cuts out with coil resistance now at over 6 ohms. The coil is wired with the live going to the negative side. Is this right? Being an old git I should know.
Regards
les
