Accel Juice

crestview750f
Thinking about an ignition upgrade and read about Accel 140403 coils. The ad says 3ohm and, as I recall reading here, my '82 CB 750F SS has 3 ohm coils.  Would the Accel coils be a good system to consider for $120?

Thanks!

Yes they would, but an even better option is the GM HEI coils. There is a write up here somewhere about them.

Installed the Accel coils after all. Just a little soldering for the eyelets coil power/ground, modify/remove the wiring stay on the left side of the frame. Easy install, now for the dyno to check 900 cam install. Hopefully this week!

By installing different coils, you have introduced another variable into your experiment (horsepower increase from 900 cam install over stock cam), so now your results will not be an accurate finding of the horsepower increase from the cam swap alone.

I would think a cleaner burn will be the best result but horsepower/torque gains will be negligible. But, I agree: another variable has been added to the experiment.

Easier to start in the morning! Now use 1/2 choke and it starts right up. Thirties for morning temp no problem starting!

Yeah, fact is these bikes have weak ignition systems. While points/stock coils do work, they do not work the best. It is a fact that a good electronic ignition will increase spark, adding better coils will goose it that much more. Then add some iridium plugs and you have a system that can spark under almost any condition.
