Hi folks I have just had my third ignition coil explode on me! I was trying to set the ignition and timing up and left the ignition on whilst doing it. I have been trying for about an hour, when the coil just popped, spewing oil all over the place. The other times, once when it was left on over night and once when sorting the wiring out, indicators and wipers etc.
The first that was left over night was an Intermotor and the others the cheap ones from Paddocks.
Could there be something wrong with the wiring? I cannot remember this happening to any previous motors Ive had, even when the ignition has been left on for a while.
I cannot imagine it being over voltage as the battery was only charged from a charger that does cut off at 12v and the engine hasnt run for more than a few minutes at a time in the 7 months Ive had her, due to rebuild.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
