  • Showing the test of a coil from a 1987 Honda Goldwing GL1200. All passed as per specs I found from a manual of an 84 Goldwing GL1200. I can't find coil test specs in any other manual, so if you have any other specs from other years of the GL1200 could you please post them here. The test I ran showed it lands in the tolerances provided by a manual of a 1984 GL1200. The part is actually marked 87, and I don't know if the specs vary from year to year. Any help would be welcomed. The part number on the coils is DW82-TRI. Thanks for your time.

    Patrick, I need to know how to test a Igniter on a 1980 CB750. We have bought a new set of them still won't run. Bought new coils after using your method of testing them yet not running. will run sometimes for a few seconds and quit. Backfires thru the carbs and exhaust. Please help.

      Mark Smith I am out of town right now, but will look into it tomorrow and see what I can find. a motor need 3 things to run, air, spark, and fuel. if the coils tested okay, the next thing would be plugs, but at first thought, it sounds like a lack of fuel. just a guess though. I will have more time tomorrow to look into it.

      According to the manual where i found the tolerances that I used to show the test, the highest that the secondary resistance should be is a maximum of 27.9. BUT, as I said in the video, those specs were from a 1984 manual, and I am not positive that they aren't different for the 87. I will call Honda tomorrow and see if they have the exact specs for an 87, and see if it is any different. What year is the one you are testing?

    I have an 80 GL1100 and would love to know my specs but cannot find them.

      If you aren't a member already, consider joining the site called goldwingdocs dot com. It is one of the best sites for all Goldwings including excellent how tos for any kind of Goldwing. I am sure someone there would know the specs you need.

      Thx Patrick. I did get my specs and that's where I found them. An '80 GL11 should be .4 primary and 22k secondary.

    One side says 90+ is that bad am I doing something wrong?

      She's barely running at idle bud weirdly over 2000 rpm a little spit but it runs pretty well until around 4500 than it starts again

      @@runsolomon That is odd for sure. Is your 90+ on a secondary resistance test? It certainly would cause erratic running. Did you test what the stator is putting out when running? It should be putting out between 14.2 and 14.6 volts consistently. But my guess is that you do need a new coil. There are certain automotive coils that can replace these and match the electronic specs, but not the size specs, so would need to have the mounting modified. You could go to a great site for answers called goldwingdocs.com and search for some posts that would help. Or join the site and ask questions yourself. Very helpful site. Let me know if I can help if you have further questions.

      Yeah 90+ and she is running so bad they put the coils where they are exposed to water in a rain storm when they are old and the insulation around the terminals dries up it goes right inside
