Hey, you got a schematic that keeps the ignition coil from whining like a dead battery? I’ve been swapping a few spark plugs to keep the throttle bite steady, but I hear that voltage spikes can wreck a good set up. What’s your take on balancing clean spark with all that circuitry?

Check the spark plug gap first, keep it consistent. Then clamp a 0.1µF ceramic across the coil primary to shunt high‑frequency spikes. Add a 100Ω resistor in series with the plug to dampen any ringing. Use a ferrite bead on the primary wire if you see hiss. Short, twisted pair wiring keeps the voltage cleaner. Test with an oscilloscope; if the waveform is still jagged, tighten the coil mount or add a snubber resistor in parallel with the coil’s secondary. That should tame the whining and give you a steadier throttle bite.

That’s a solid plan. Just keep the mount tight, or the whole thing’ll start dancing like a bad rhythm. Give it a test run and let me know if the throttle still feels loose.

Will run the circuit with the tightened mount and new snubber. I’ll log the voltage profile and throttle response. Expect a tighter spark pattern and a steadier throttle. If any jitter persists, I’ll tweak the coil tap or add a small 10µF bypass. You’ll see the difference on the next test.

Got it, keep me posted on the run. If it still feels off, we’ll keep digging. No fuss.
