You can take that faulty coil off and take it to a motor rewind shop and get them to rewind the coil, they will cut the old copper from the bobbin, clean up the bobbin and make sure the ground insulation is sound. You will need to tell them the resistance of the OEM coil ( 283 ohms in this coil) they will measure the wire from the old coil, it's very fine wire, 0.2mm or smaller. Myself I will wind on the turns till I reach a fill that's similar to original then, I carefully measure the resistance to gauge how many more or less turns are needed, this can be done without cutting the fine enamel winding wire if you use a Stanley blade and hold the multimeter lead on it, and very carefully apply pressure on the copper winding wire. 34 yrs in the rewinding trade so I've mastered this trick without damaging wire. Finished coil gets cured in electrical varnish and baked off.
Thanks for taking the time to record your video and posting

This is great info! 34years in the trade is amazing. I would love to pick your brain sometime. Thanks for the comment and the support!
How much would you charge me to rewind mine? I have the same exact make and model 1984
@@mastersonbat8633 I'm in New Zealand mate, the freight would cost more than a second hand coil. But if u were in nz I could sort it easily enough.
Awesome video man. Love watching you work on stuff. Keep up the great video and the face lifted website looks great
Nice machine man
Thank you! I've had her for years. One of my favorite things I own. Thanks for the support!

Are those the original tires on your trike?
Thanks for the comment. I changed them once in the late 90s. They are dry rotting again and I need to replace them. Any suggestions for trike tires?
I have a full repair manual for 84-85
You wanna sell it? Thanks for commenting!
@@hendersonequipment no but I noticed you were inquiring so information
@@danielwhite5132 thanks I’ll message ya if I run into a problem
I didn't realize the three-wheeler was a female!!!
They're all ladies
