The

ignition
coil
is

an
oil
filled

type
The

ignition
coil
case
is
filled

with
oil
which
has

good
insulating
and

heat

radiating
characteristics

The

ignition
coil
has
a

greater
ratio

between
the

primary
and

secondary

windings
to

step
up
battery
voltage
to

high
voltage
This

causes

stronger

sparks
to

jump
the

spark
plug
gap

The

cap
is

made
of

alkyd
resin

which
offers

high
resistance

to
electric

arc
and

increased
insulation

When

high
tension
cable
is
installed

to

ignition
coil
there
should
be

no

clearance
between
