LookingUp Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Hi, anyone a guru with coils? I've a HE r120. The resistance in the coil between cap and ground is 7.87k ohms is this too high for this coil? I read that others like top 80 etc should be max 5k. My motor can be sputtery when running but main issue is hot starting, won't start until engine has cooled. Quote

I was told the carb was hot and vaporizing fuel. I put in a nylon spacer between engine and carb, this helped a bit Quote
LookingUp Posted February 8, 2019 Author Posted February 8, 2019 Will keep that in mid. There is a decent thickness of alloy spacer between engine/carb. New coil on the way. Quote
Nigel Safrican Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Problem with old coils is that they start to breakdown when they warm up. I think a coil replacement would be your answer. 1 Quote
