Don't fix it until it's broken.

A few months ago I noticed cracks on Mercedes coils. I bought new ones and installed them, but 1 or 2 of them were not good. I repaired old ones and installed them, no problems!

Cracks go deeper and moisture will get in. It is going to be hard to start in the morning and rain can stall engine. You need to seal cracks somehow before they kill coil.RonKZ650 wrote: The ST used different coils than any other Kawasaki, as usual, and cracking may be somewhat normal. My 1980ST only has 4000 miles on it, and both coils are cracked, I've never seen a cracked coil on any of my other Kawasakis. It doesn't effect operation on mine far as I can tell.

BUT here is my real question??
The DYNA 3 OHM Coil square bolt mount bar is loose? it can be hammered back and forth a little. I noticed the screws to the primarys was closer on 1 coil and different on other. These things are still sitting in the same shipped box with this guys name on it from 2000, 16 yrs ago! WTF?
DYNA 3 ohm coils. I bought these not on eBay! From Dragbike.com Yes that long ago! 2000 From some Bastard! DOES ANYONE know him? I paid $75 back then for a dyna S and these coils. Painted Red from a dragbike. Only 1 pick up was good, other not. plus these coils.

Who knows he might be reading this???
So it's a coil issue? Coil question, high jack your thread! sorry! loose square bar going thru the coil?
Good or not?
Hope readers enjoy a little tangent! Don't complain gives you Guys something else to read, and get a laugh! :lol:
