Trevor,
My comments are based on the instructions that came with the LU142 unit. To
quote:
"The Ignitor does require a coil with a _minimum of 1.5 OHMS_ resistance
across the "+" and the "-" of the coil."
Then a couple of lines down: "Remember, always use a coil with a _minimum
of 1.5 OHMS._"
(they're emphasis)
If you've experienced something different, or know of other concerns,
please let me know. Thanks for your input on this.
