Hi. Fitted to a triumph t100a , got a spark in static position but no spark turning the engine over, what is the minimum voltage for the system to work, also what coil voltage is required, the coil is 5ohms (12v)
Cheers.
Coil resistance needs to be between 1.5 Ohms and 3.5 Ohms to ensure the item will work. The minimum voltage for the system to work is 6 volts and this should not drop below at any point of cranking.

Thank you for your comment.
It is best to speak with our technical team directly about this by calling the office if you could please on 0157 889 453.
Regarding the signal your negative side of the coil is actually the side with the Black wire on so please look at this for your signal however not all Smith’s will work with the electronic ignition conversions but we can help you with this when you call.
Thank you
