Katana Owners Club U.K.

Skruffy Kat is slowly getting back together, and I have this question.

The original coils were non matched, and had very ropey connections.

So over the intervening months I have bought/acquired a set of new pattern coils,

a set of previously enjoyed Andrews Coils

And a set of Dyna coils

My original loom was Jolly Rogered due to some bodged repairs, and my replacment item has the spade connectors replaced with eyelets, So I opted to fit the Andrews coils. But these foul the frame.

Now the question is: As I'm using the stock CDI is there any benefit from messing about to get the andrews coils to fit, or should I remake the connections and fit the new pattern iterms?

The Dyna coils were intended for the next project.

Andrews coils pump out 30kV,much more than the standard coils,so it's your call. As you say they're 'fatter' than standard (no comments please ) so you have to hang them a bit lower which isn't easy (or move them away all together). Use them with iridium plugs. However if your engine is bog stock you probably wont see much difference except a cleaner pickup and easier starting.

Hey Chris,

took myself off into a corner and gave my self a "don't be a wimp" conversation

Skruffy Kat now has a set of Andrews coils and Taylor leads fitted using SS mounting spacers, looks a good un!

Just hope they're not duff!

Also had an "Oooooh" moment: fitted a spare tank to check clearance of the coils........ (In Bob Harris voice*) Mmmmmm, Niiice!
