Is the ignition coils on a 1976 honda cb750k inductive discharge?

I have a new set of super coils for my 1976 cb750 honda that are inductive discharge.Will they work?I dont know if the coils should be inductive or noninductiveIs the ignition coils on a 1976 honda cb750k inductive discharge?if they are for a 75 cb750, then you'll be fine. you have a primary and secondary winding in a coil. as voltage flows thru the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field and can work 1 of 2 ways. as the magnetic field rises or collapses ( all bikes I know of use a rising rate type of coil as a voltage needs to be provided for it to produce a spark ), it induces a voltage into the secondary windings which then produces a higher voltage spark. It's known as 'inductive kick'. the makers of your super coils are just trying to make it sound more cool.Is the ignition coils on a 1976 honda cb750k inductive discharge?You might check and see what the primary winding resistance values are on the new coils. Points ignition coils usually run 4-5 ohms. Many new coils have only .5-.9 ohms resistance. If the new coils have very low resistance and you're still using the orginal points, the OEM condensers may not be big enough to keep the points from arcing. Too little resistance may cause the coils to get pretty hot. That's why cars in the '50s and '60s used resistors placed before the coil.



If you've converted the points over to an electronic ignition, the coil primary resistance needs to be at whatever the ignition unit calls for. If you need to add a resistor, simply go to an auto parts store and get a ballast resistor of the proper resistance. For example, if the coils are .5 ohm and you have an electronic ignition usit that needs 2.5 ohms, but a ballast resistor of 2 ohms and wire it ahead of the ignition coils.
