I have finally started to work on th eDiana I purchased a few month 
back. After rebuilding the carb, replacing the petcock gaskets and fuel 
lines i thought I was ready to kick it over. No such luck. Seems the 
coil is shot. 4 ohms across the LT temnimals and 11k from the HT to the 
LT terminals. I've tried a few sources and all have said that 6 volt AC 
coils are nearly impossible to come by.
Does any oone know of a source or a method of converting away from the 
AC coil? As I do not intend to rebuikld the bike and not restore it I am 
not opposed to minor madifications or improvements.
This group suggested a few web sites that are more focused on old 
singles but I mistakenly save the wrong e-mail and lost the info.
Thanks Dino
