Thanks Luke,that makes perfect sense to me. I misspoke when I said suppression core. I meant graphite. I dont plan to install a radio so I dont think I'll need the supression core. I ended up robbing the factory resistor caps off hackjob tonight to get the chopper running. I love spare parts.


Oh,and on what you mentioned about the coil. I touched the starter button when it was wired without resistor caps and it threw a 1 1/2'' FAT blue spark! My race car ignitions never did THAT! It's quite subdued now that it has resistor caps.

I discussed this with Eric today and he said that running the iridiums ( resistor type plug) along with the factory resistor type caps is why my bike idles rough after installing them. He said iridiums should be run without resistor caps.Anyone else have any info on this?
