One trick I learned 30 years ago with a Honda 360 is if the leads are not too fried where they enter the coils. You can cut off all but one inch and install plug caps. I used an old distributor cap off a car. I cut off where the wires plugged in and grinded them down til I had a small cap. JB welded them to my coils. Then I fashioned up a set of leads using new racing wires and fresh NGK plug caps. Now I had coils with replacable leads. Your other option is to shell out $75.00 for two new coils from Classic Motorcycle Supply. rm |

If the new wire has a copper core (and is a ignition wire) add a oring at the coil side and use you mounting brackets. That is duel over head cam 80 - 84. Rotten |
