Title: I like this performance mod but.......
Post by: Chris0381 on April 20, 2016, 01:01:14 PM: I like the thought of this performance mod but boy I should hold off until getting some feedback.

What it entails it using a Ford ignition coil p/n XW4U-12A366-BB XW4U-BB $6 on ebay (just search the p/n).

You trim the rubber boot on the Ford Coil and use a bracket to hold it onto the Kymco Plug.

Since the coil is a basic 2 wire coil, you simply get the Ford wiring or make a simple connector and replace the Kymco coil.

According to this thread, it gives a dramatic performance boost.

I have mixed feelings, but for the price and the fact others have done it with no harm, it may be worth a try.

Finally, someone with a dose of reality. Once your mixture is ignited, it's ignited, you're done.

Post by: paceneedsstides on August 10, 2016, 06:09:57 PM: the mod provides a more powerful consistent spark to the plug I'm a member on both forums and the guys over there that are giving positive comments on this mod are people with alot more experience than most in the community as a whole. This mod would be most helpful with 2T engines or in replacing Chinese parts.
