BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 jaycar rectifier for a battery charger, about $10.good for 10 amps or so. have used them on old triumphs/bsas etc. you will need a battery to act as a regulater. ill need to go into jaycar to get diodes anyway, so ill take a look at their rectifiers and probably just get one of those for ease of use, and because they are probably in a housing. yep got the battey, $20 from avon city suzuki the coils at work and the likes of the gt40 are all for cars with 12v, will this be an issue? i know bubbles ha provided alot of info on why this IS a correct coil, and looking at the diagrams it looks to be accurate, but can anyone say why this is wrong? and that even if i tap the wire off the condensor, like there may or may not have been in the past, why it wont work? sorry for all the questions, i think coils are the last thing on small motorbikes that i dont understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 $20 for a 6v battery? why so cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Buy a coil designed for use with a ballast resistor. It's a 6v coil that relys on the ballast resistor when it's used on a 12v system. Sorry I haven't read all this topic so I couldn't say for sure. The new coil you have is for a magneto ignition, you could use it but I don't know what voltage the magneto generates, if it's much higher than 6-7v then that coil won't make much spark off your C90 battery. You do need a condenser on the negative side of the coil with the points. It works like a damper as the points open the spark will jump across the points as they open without one. http://science.howstuffworks.com/question375.htm http://autorepair.about.com/cs/generalinfo/a/aa052502a.

BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 $20 for a 6v battery? why so cheap avoncity suzuki got it in for me from century, was about $22 they are great down there, always use them when i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 i think i have an old coil from the corona in the shed, uses a ballast resistor, i lost spark on the corona one day and replaced the whole lot with another one i had so i dont know if it even works, but worth a shot. can get those coils at work for 20 bucks cheaper than this one from honda, before my staff discount. honestly looks to be the best option now, can slip a redbull can over it and be hardcore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Econohonda have had another look at their stock and found, what sounds like a proper original coil for a c90. twin wire, one red one green, apparently labled for a c90 scoot. 100% not sure why i wasnt sent this one on the first place, but shit happens, and my mate will just get his bike worked on in the mean time, poor him.

BlownCorona Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 cheers to governersams tip that jaycar sell cheap rectifiers, got a couple for about $6 but now my fucking 100w soldering iron is refusing to solder to the wires coming off them even though it should be more than powerfull enough, might just have to attach a chocolote block to each lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sorry to jack your thread Josh. Quick question. Im running my lights straight off the engine. No battery. Keep blowing bulbs. would a rectifier solve this issue if i place it inline between engine and light>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 all good man, a rectifier is what changed AC power to DC power, i think youre thinking of a regulator? in my bike, the battery acts as the regulator. but i do have a straight wire the head headlights that doesnt run though the batt.. but another regulator may do it. im sure governersam would be able to offer a few opinions. are you still running the LED bulbs? i dont think they are too happy with the pulsing electricity you get from that line, in which case im sure a reg would help.

BlownCorona Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 this is the bridge rectifier im trying to fucking solder, so much angry currently. should have been a 5 minute job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
governorsam Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Tin the soldering iron first. Clean it up with a file when hot an apply solder to the tip. Can make a big difference. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
governorsam Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Or get the rectifiers with spade terminals on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 ive tried tinning the soldering iron, its like it cant get the wire hot enough. about to go out and file up the tip and see what happens. (for what its worth, im generaly quite good at wiring, this is the first time ive hand an issue with my gun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 after a metric ton of messing around, i finally have the correct parts, coil and slide needle kit. so this project can get back on track! may even brave the rain, clear out the shed and move it in there to get some work done today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
