hey ive got a 1981 t25 with cu engine in it, it now has started killing any coil i put on there after about half an hour of running

anyone know what could be the culprit?

be very gratefull if anyone can help

cheers

Is it the std ignition system and what coil are you using? the "beetle/older Aircooled" coils are suitable with the jigher capacity systems fitted to T25's..

as far as i know it std vacuum advance with module when it blewthe first coil that had been on there for however long lol then put a new 12v bosh one on and killed that within 20mins of running ill get some pics up of whats there mite be helpfull

as above make sure if you have points ( should not have with a t25) then you need a points coil

electronic ignition then make sure you have an ignition coil for elctronic ignition.

if you have gone an bought a coil for electronic ignition not knowing the type, thenmake sur it does not say 'only use with ballast' on it anywhere!

our vans do not have ballast and the coil will become u/s very quick.

make sure the coil is dead and not another part of the system. did the coil get hot?

no i dont think it did lol im gonna go nip out and get a pics of what it is lol as cant remember

what makes you think the coil is dead?

no spark but has power going in to it got sum pics now of what is there so gonna pop um up on here

where did the coil come from?

the coil visually looks like an Aircooled 'BOSCH BLUE COIL' what they fitted with the 009 when you were trying to get good sparks from the points system

try one from a t25 although you may have fried the dizzy/ ignition amp.

the little box behind the ignition amp with 2 plugs on it , pull the plugs aprt and connect them to each other rather than into the box.

weres the best/ cheapest place to buy dizzy amplifyer and that blacck box from but will try connecting the to plugs together

cheers
