My coil for the spark plug went out and I can get a replacement from the dealer for 40 pounds. But I could buy an universal coil for CDI at 15 pounds.
I realize that the mounting is not the same, but does that matter much and internally is it different? I don't think so, but no one hear I talk to can give me an educated answer. I see that a kx 500 and a kx60 share the same coil so how could things be very different as long as it is designed for CDI-one-wire-input.
Also a loosely related question; In a pinch why couldn't someone use the lighting coil to power the CDI when the stator goes out. I know they are sized different and you would have to switch some wires around but does its size/output and position on the stator plate make it impossible to use it. And don't be an a$$ and say that my lights would not work if I did that.
