Virago - Accel Super Coil Installation
and Notes
|
|
Back in 1985 I wanted to have the look of the Accel wires on my bike, so I spliced-in a set of 8mm copper core wires. The splicing process was basically an inline wire connector, lots of silicone sealer and shrink tubing. I removed the NGK spark plug caps also. Not thinking at the time about resistance and the TCI unit, I just made the change and it ran great for over 96k miles. The Accel Supoer Coil adaptation was the barinchild of Mike Miller - Austin, Texas. While changing-out my OEM coils for the Accelk Super Coil, I decided to check the resistance levels and record them for you to see. Refer to the cart below: (20k phms scale)

| Recently, I heard of an Accel Super Coil that can be installed on the Virago. Aceel makes a single fire super coil for Harley's which will work on the Virago. Accel's part number is 140408. The primary resistance is 3 ohms. |
