philbeese Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I have a Gas Gas TXT280 pro 2004, I think that the coil may be breaking down. It's a ducati coil and cdi in one. Can anyone give me the resistance readings for this type of coil please. I would like to test it before going to the expense of buying a new one if it's not the problem. Thank you, much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 These do not fail oftes as I recall, but ring up Steve at Motoplat UK and give him your symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectionone Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Usually the Ducati regulator/rectifier fails and you get no spark or no fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1979 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Not sure if West coast windings are still on the go, but if they are I wouldn't personally use them again from my experience for a stator rewind if you go down that route. They made a complete mess of mine years ago after I had my stator rewound, they claimed to have fixed it, sent it to me, I fit it to the bike no spark? I send back they claimed it was the trigger coil gone so they chopped off mine and rewired a new one on at my expense, I refitted still no spark, I had a friend with the same bike so we pulled his apart and fitted his bits to mine so I knew it was definitely something they had done wrong. Turned out they had rewound it backwards and had reversed the polarity so I had to swap the light blue and dark blue wires, I only found this out from contacting Steve at Motoplat. I couldn't praise him enough!! As said in previous post, Steve at Motoplat is the man to talk to.
