Pardon my ignorance, but how does the Pulsar electronic dizzy avoid the water problem?

1. there's an O-ring under the cap. Unlike a Lucas..
2. No points. :P
3. If you move the coil to the RH inner guard (Pulsar dizzy's wires will just reach) it won't get wet either. :wink:
Surprising how often this Mini wet weather problem is flashover of the spark on the top of coil, and not the dizzy anyway.

Look on bottom of it it should say `12V'.
If it sez `use with resistor' you better go buy one. Resistor coils running without resistor can overheat, burn your points, and generally spoil your whole day. Unless they are on a Pulsar electronic dizzy.. as Nissan fitted them. :wink:
