Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures. In Triumph Ignition Coil Replacement Part 1 of this two-part series, we described a coil replacement on a Triumph ...

The ignition coil converts the vehicle’s 12 volts to the more than 10,000 volts required to produce an effective spark in the spark plugs, which in turn ignite the air-fuel mixture in an engine’s ...

Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures since, well, probably since the first Bloor Triumph sputtered off the assembly line. This is Part 1 of this ...
