The original resistor, 1.5Ohm. And thanks for the pictures and verification. There is a lot of false info out there and it seems to get repeated. BTW, I am also an electronis engineer. I like your setup. I had a HP 5420 scope like that many years ago :)

I am however still interested in what the voltage actually is on an original setup. Surely someone has those details?

So you all agree that 9V on this coil is totally out of the question, given the resistance values? The company's instructions are not correct.

I really wanted to know the cI rrect coil voltage. Surely this is known?

Hello, The question: Is 5.6 - 6V on the the coil + to ground the correct voltage for this ignition ? Background: My points keep burning after less than 2500miles. A hole in one side and a pillar on the other side. Someone before me fitted an Accell 140001 Super coil. The original 1.5Ohm...

I have since repaired my brakes but went with DOT3 fluid. Mostly because I only did the front brakes at this time. I ran out of time and energy. However, I also repaired my motorbike brakes yesterday. This time I did go with DOT5. So far, it seems fine.

It is mentioned somewhere in the specifications that this DOT 5 fluid is slightly more compressible than normal DOT 3 or 4. However, I do agree that the problems people mention seem to stem from air and as you said, possibly lines. The military would not be able to use it if it resulted in a...

Note how they are also pitted on the back on the surface where they go under the seal. Rust there is dangerous as pressure could be lost suddenly. The hard chrome on them is just rubbish.

How is the pedal feel afterwards?

I did hear that but I also read many times over that it is because there is air in the the system. Apparently the fluid traps air which is very very hard to get out of it and cannot be eliminated by normal bleeding. I actually really wanted to hear from folks who are running this fluid and how...

No idea. Forgot. Came from a reputable supplier.

Understood. It is almost like the dust cover rubbers are porous as well. They still look like new. I am scratching my head that such junk can be sold even for brake parts. I just thought that while I am at it, I might as well consider changing the fluid over.

Here is what came out. they are rusting in my kitchen and look worse today. I can confirm these to be new in 2017. This is not a non issue but rather a serious issues since these brakes actually seized while driving and it pulled seriusly to one side suddenly, unexpected. I do not drive it...

After just 4 Years, my front brakes were totally seized up and the calliper pistons seriously rusted. they were new, along with all the seals. Close inspection now shows that the plating on those pistons is a mere illusion. And yes, the fluid was changed twice in 4 years. Total junk. Since I am...

I also just found out that I can get a standard clutch kit or a heavy duty one. Anyone know the difference and whether or not I need a heavy duty one? I tow a box trailer and a car trailer once in a while but that is all. Regards Bernt
