HI Im looking for some information about testing these coils on a gl1100 1983
What Ohms should the coils be. and what should the ballast resister ohms be. I have done a search and its coming up with two different ones
2.4 or 4.0 Ohm coils
Thanks

Re: GL1100 coils
If your having problems with your coil, try the coil from a 96 dodge neon. It will wire right up and give a hotter spark. It does make a difference on the low end. I tried it and it is reasonably simple. $25 or so. Well worth the time. Regards, Johnny

Thanks for that. What plug did you use for the primary wires to fit the coil.
