TS185 pulser coil re-wound
I was having issues with the ignition pulser coil in the magneto of my 77 TS185. Seems the coils were burnt. I unwound the coil, paying attention to the # winds & layers. Found some coated magnet/coil wire at radio shack that was of the same gauge. Rewound it and tested it 2 days ago, IT WORKED. All I have to do now is walk down to an industrial supply store down the street from work, buy some high-temp cloth tape, wrap the coil & then epoxy coat it.
I have a 80 TS185 parts bike & the pulser coil on it is bad as well, but the wire is a lot smaller gauge. The magnet/coil wire I bought came in a 3-pack, different sizes. It came with the correct size for the 80's coil, so I'll rewind it too & then try out the stator assembly on my 77. The connector for the CDI box is different & I've already mad adapter wires for it. The CDI box on the 80 is in pretty rough shape and has a split on one end of the metal case. It may or may not be any good. Only testing will tell. If anyone interested, I'll post some pic's on photobucket & post the link.
