Fellas,thanks for the input.Took the Tiger out on Saturday the 4th…90 degree temp. Had hood opened appx 2inches. Ran it for 30 minutes..and sure enough it shut down. Opened hood- hood and metal rod too hot to hold without mechanic’s glove..Waited appx 30 minutes.It then restarted right away! Paid NAPA a visit picked up the same model coil IC 12[I believe] $43 with tax but I have yet to install it. I like the idea of moving the coil off the engine to an area where the heat may be less intense… but it still will be hot.I can return the IC 12 if need be but I’ll have to find out what the different IC model #’s mean or whether an ACCEL coil or some super type coil has any benefit.I wonder if some model coils resist heat better? I was convinced it had to be the fuel pump.I have a MSD ignition but I also have an external ballast resistor.The IC 12 coil is for an external resistor. I sometimes wonder if the coil manufacturers claims are hyperbole. After all for non race driving how strong does a spark have to be.Similar issue with respect to spark plugs. Thanks again. frank mooney
