No, you did not measure the coil voltage correctly.accubond wrote: Airbox is stock.
Battery has 13.7 -14.0 Volts at 4000rpm
I dont know if i mesarued right at the coils (between Green and yellow/red and Black and yellow/red cable) there are only 5-6 V!!
Do i need new coils?
If each coil has a yellow/red wire on it, then measure from that wire to a ground point. A bare surface on the frame or the engine or frame ground bolt.

With pods, I ran #105 main jets, and left the needle in the middle.
I also modded the timing plate for 3 degrees more advance,
Good luck.
My wife asked me if I still loved her - I said "Honey, I love you more than new carburetor boots ! "

Need full battery voltage to the existing coils.
Even a perfect brand new coil can't properly perform without full battery voltage being supplied to it.
Where voltage is being reduced somewhere between the battery and the coil, would check voltage at each connection in the wiring between the battery and the coil, starting at the connection closest to the battery.
And, as mentioned, full battery voltage to a perfect coil, may still be thwarted by too much resistance in the secondary circuit due to more than one component having resistance. Usually the one component having resistance is the plug cap, hence solid core non-suppression plug wires should be used, along with non-R spark plugs.
Good Fortune!
