    The motoplat coil wire on my 83 xc 250 is about shot, the wire is cracked in a few places, and you can see the core wire. Is there any way to repair or replace it with out getting a new coil. Is there a way to attach a new wire? I have some nice leftover MSD wire from my car laying around. Thanks Matt

    Seems to be alot of used units on Ebay. You can replace the entire unit with a PVL coil from Penton Imports or maybe even AMS. You may also want to contact Vance Smith at:

    I believe there p/n 401-71532 is about $20 & bolts right in.

    I'd keep the old one though, & try the repair as a Winter project,
    can't have too many spare parts when dealing with old bikes.

    check out nology.com

    They have Hot Wires that will increase spark voltage.
    Which every Motoplat can use.
    I have not tried them yet but i am looking to run one of these and a Denso IW24 P/N 5316 (NGK B8ES/B8EV eqiv.) plug before i replace my entire ignition system.
    They also have coils too.

    first thing i did on mine was replace the entire system with pvl (yes expensive) but never had to worry.

    now if i could only get my jetting done....

    Hey Leftcoast,

    How is that PVL working for you?

    If you had to do it all over again would you still go with the PVL or maybe the MZB?
