    The coils all crack and if you look at them in the dark, they arc across the gap and it looks like a mad light show. Its not so easy to see in the daytime.

    $100 is the cheapest you will get for a new one. Thats my price, if you want to pay more, go elsewhere.

    I only have one new one left at the moment, be quick or miss out

    Can someone give me a loan of an old defective coil?

    I would just like to see why they fail and see if there is a temporary fix.

    I had the same problem with my GL when i first bought it, and found that i had water in the dizzy, and all it needed was a dry out and a spray with **** smiths electrical spray (like a solvent based water dispersant). Sometimes you cant see the water at first because it could be out of site so give it a good spray and leave it a while to dry out).

    The problem i had was literally identical to what ur describing...

    Hope this helps (could be a simple and cheap alternative to replacing the coilpack)

    Cheers

    Its the plastic housings that crack and then they arc across the gap. I have repaired them temporarily with araldite and silicone, but they always break again.

    I threw about 4 broken ones out last week
