Hi Stuart,


Thanx for the suggestion. It's hard to imagine that the Digifant primary
final stage can overheat & ruin the ignition coil and not damage the
Digifant control module itself. This module operates flawlessly with
easy starting, good performance & economy etc. I'm installing the new
ignition coil today so I'll be watching. I had thought that if the
Digifant module had the tendency to "cook" ignition coils, someone else
would have encountered it by now.


Regards,   John
