Further to my post of my 9.8 power issues, I was looking for a new coil, part 339-5288.
I found that here in the UK, I could get s CDI Electronics 184-0001 which looks identical.
It has the same primary coil resistance.
BUT it appear the the primary and secondary coils are connected internally and the armature core (which is metal not ferrite) is then connected to the primary negative with a metal strap.
The original coils have a wire that goes to the secondary coil and this just gets squashed up against the engine to make the earth.
So If I put the new coil in, I would have to add a wire from the armature core to earth, but this would also earth the negative side of the primary, will this blow the ignition module?
CDI don't seem to make the coil with a secondary coil earth wire...
