[QUOTE="Colin, post: 179268, member: 1953"] My Godet Egli Sport GT, Has been starting and running with a Grosset starter motor for 20 years with absolutely no problems Also,. Ignition, as built by Patrick, is a small Japanese coil (Kawasaki from memory) fixed under the front cowl, ie the bit that would cover a mag on a standard bike. I repeat, never had any problems at all with starting or running.or overheating. (Except when forced to fill the Godet with crap E10 fuel when the bike overheated badly and was seriously down on power. Draining what was left when I got home and filling with Esso E5 cured both problems) My Egli Comet has the coil under the seat, again no problems ever. That coil is the old fashioned type, and probably around 50 years old. Ignition is Boyer Bransden I don't do a big mileage on either bike these days, but they used to in days gone by, especially the Comet, which despite being laid up for longish periods is always a good starter, on a kick start Eric where is your coil mounted? If under the mag cowl, like mine it would SEEM the airflow on or under the cowl is sufficient for cooling. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
