Resistor caps or not?
13 Jul 2007 08:10
Ok, probably been asked 1m times already but I'm looking for a definitive answer...
'76 kz900 using Dyna S, with WG coil mod, accel 7.7mm? wires, B8ES plugs at 32 thou.
Should I be using resistor caps or not? Thanks.

You don't really need resistor anything, but in case of causing radio interference you should run resistor wires, or resistor caps, or resistor plugs. You don't need more than one resistor item. I don't know if the Accel wires are resistor, but I suspect they are... in that case, no, you can just use any cheap plug-boot.

resistor in the secondary circut of the coils clean up the spark to make it more even and consistant at all rev ranges and temperatures
a shaggy spark never bothered me but I dont mind a back fire or two and a searching idle until hot engine temps are reached .( no resistor)
