I replaced the battery last summer with a sealed type cause I thought the extra power might help out the problem. Nothing really changed in the stalling department, but at least I had more faith that I'd have more starting power in the event that the stalls would keep me from being able to ride long enough to adequately recharge the battery. I didn't really give the new battery the loving care it deserved over the winter (because of my feelings toward the bike), but it had plenty enough power to get it going this spring... even with repeated starting attempts (at first I didn't realize that the main tank was dry...eventually switched to reserve...duh.)
I'd love to investigate the plugs, but have yet to get the thin-walled plug socket necessary to pull them. I've got socket sets out the ying-yang, but not a one of them will fit down those holes... not a welcome realization for a backyard mechanic.
So how do I tell if I've got "Gill" coils? All I know is that the only replacement coil I bought a few years ago was just rediculously expensive (like $150). I don't remember any manufacturer's markings, but maybe I'll chase it down and check.
