Hi Guys

I could not start my b310 today morning after a 10km drive away suddenly it stops and started it but it didn't keep running, after that i could not start it any more,found that no ignition , and coil was hot and also the resister was extra hot ,Replaced the coil with a new one and came home without any issue car was usual , after coming home also checked the new coil it was also hot and also resister , how hot it is on normal condition ? is it normal or is there any problem with my electrical system how can i find any problem with my ignition system ?

thanks
regards

you should be able to touch the coil. hot coil usually because of improper point adjustment or the coil itself is bad. you still using point ignition? cjeck your point and replace the condenser too

Coil: can't keep the hand more than few seconds is normal

Resistor: Will get too hot to touch. It has a ceramic insulator because it get so hot.
