How hot should a coil and Duraspark unit get? Warm to touch, or hotter?
I swapped out my factory coil for a MSD one that is supposed to take 12V constant, and pulled the resistor (cleaner wiring).
We noticed the coil gettin hot when trying to crank and the engine didnt start, found a grounded tach lead, got that sorted and it fired up. I also noticed the Duraspark unit was gettin warm too. Thinking the short mighta been pullin on 'em constantly and was the cause?
I have yet to check it after a quick idling session tho. I can put the resistor back in but would prefer not to. The Duraspark sees 12v constant regardless.
TIA
