Last post by m in sc - April 25, 2024, 09:42:00 PMits fine. I bet they are old kawasaki s2 or s3 coils, they are the same but black. or they are lucas coils. either way, they are OLD so tread carefully, they may not last.

Turning Wrenches / Re: Another coil question
Last post by RDDave - April 25, 2024, 07:10:50 PMThe ones I have are all black, but who knows how old they are and things may have changed over that time. The original coils measured 4 and the auto style measured 4.7 across the small leads. Is that enough difference to cause problems with the points or condenser? I really appreciate the input on this. Thank you.
I tried to post a pic but couldn't figure out how to get it from my phone to this post.

Last post by skyline - April 25, 2024, 05:49:10 PMQuestion for you guys - I have a leak in the inside seam of the 2T oil tank (see pic). Have any ideas on fixing it?
At this point, I'm so broke that I don;t want to shell more money on a new tank.

Last post by skyline - April 25, 2024, 05:47:12 PM9. Gas tank and the other body work is back from painter. He did quite an impressive job sans the time taken but I'm quite happy on the outcome. He's a hard-working dude and I guess we can cut him a slack after-all stuff happens.
10. The neutral light was still ever elusive as it has been and I ended up with a CU but the existing one magically worked after few starts. Yay!
11. Fuel petcock needs rebuild so I'm waiting on it.
12. Still have thermostat issue to tackle, it's been leaking and we tried 2 of'em so far and on to testing 3rd one. Apparently they do not sell just the seal so it has to be in it's entirety.
13. Got the kick starter spring and ball which were missing too.

8. Coolant pipe on the clutch side wasn't seated in all the way so that would have been a disaster. I'm glad I got to Dave and let the SME handle it. I would have surely blew up the transmission and not even know the why's of it.
