Dual fire high output coils

Forums

Hello All,

I'm trying to locate and purchase Crane, Dyna, Andrews style High output single fire dual output coil for my 1973 Mk2a 850 which has B Bransen ignition. It seems buying from the US or Australia creates a vast "tax" hike to the cost of these. I understand that there are quite a few Harley Davidson specified products which could meet my needs at around  4 - 4.8ohms primary coil resistance and I have seen here that an Andrews unit was recommended but again it now seems to be obsolete. I have asked various European Harley parts suppliers for recommendations but they do not wish to advise on compatibility  rather supply to order.

Can anyone recommend any decent mini tower type dual out put coils I could use please so I can order one? I would need the part number and supplier if that was possible too please.

Regards Greg T

My Dyna 3 ohm dual coil tested at 2.9 ohm and the red boyer box it was fed by stopped working after 20mins on hot summer days, waiting 5 mins ignition off gave me another 20 mins run time. I swapped it for a 3.0 ohm Harley type twin coil and normal service was resumed.  So if given the choice I would go slightly higher than the lowest allowable ohms which for the red boyer box is 3 ohms.

Since B Bransden  is a company brand, and not a particular type of system. How can anyone advise when no system type is declared??

The Boyer Bransden Micro MKIII and Micro MKIV electronic ignitions are built for the original Lucas 17M6 coils which are rated at 1.7 to 1.9 ohms each.

So as a pair wired in series that will give you a target of 3.4 to 3.8 ohms.

Your dual output single coil should be rated the same.

You can get 4 and 5 ohm models which will be absolutely fine in your application.

Don't go for the readily available 3 ohm model - as pointed out already, your ignition will burn out pretty quickly.

 

Here are a couple of options:
