Hoo boy, old school, you aren't kidding. I had a 72 T250 Suzuki, same as the t20 essentially. My dad did the old school stuff for me then, so I have nothing to add here. BUT, I will say that if the coils are bad, and you can't find OEM replacements, old school car coils can be used. That is what my dad did when I cooked my coils because of a bad battery connection. The only thing is, the car coils required some kind of ballast resistor, so they wouldn't over load the condensors. Unfortunately, I know nothing of the ballast resistor values that would be needed, or how they would be put into the ignition system. My dad did all of the head scratching. He was way into electronics, so this was pretty simple for him. She never fouled a plug after that. IIRC, this kind of coil swap was not uncommon for lots of 2 stroke fans. Lots of RD350 Yamahas had it done too. So, are there any more old schoolers out there who can chime in on this??
