Coils are generally a sealed, water-tight component. As such, they are generally not a repairable item.Routine checks on a coil are not necessary.nstructions. Turn off the motorcycle ignition. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the coil by hand. Disconnect the two smaller primary wires from the coil using an open-ended wrench.
How Automobile Ignition Systems Work. The distributor handles several jobs. Its first job is to distribute the high voltage from the coil to the correct cylinder. This is done by the cap and rotor. The coil is connected to the rotor, which spins inside the cap. The rotor spins past a series of contacts, one contact per cylinder. As the tip of the rotor passes each contact, a high-voltage pulse comes from the coil.
