Suzuki T250 (1972) - Spark plug caps - resistors - rustonboy

Please does anyone know whether the spark plug caps on this model should have a resistor? The coils are the originals and tested fine, but new spark plug caps are needed, so getting the right ones will obviously affect the strength of the spark. Many thanks :-)

I don't have direct experience with the Suzuki T250 (1972), but from my understanding, the spark plug caps on this model should have a resistor. This is because the ignition system on this motorcycle is designed to work with resistor spark plug caps, which help reduce electrical interference and noise.

As I remember, the original caps had a metal cover on, every time it rained, you received multiple electric shocks to the legs!

My GT250 1976 was quickly changed to NGK caps and plugs!

Next bike GT750 had the plugs well tucked away so no problems, except the 3 sets of points to set up.

Happy Days!
