Its just the same, No volts = no sparks= dead coil !! Had a good old look at the Fila.. Thats seems to have the new type coils fitted... So with any luck mine should be ok !! |
Great, thanks nathanhu. I shall go and tke a look. I have some high preformance (Wurth) silicone spray that Italia recommended. It's thick and stays put - in fact clogs the nozzle on the can, so it ought to protect the pins.
How do you recognie the new types then?
