Thanks 70CB750,
Here is an example of what i was working with (first pic). The coils despite how they look, were actaully fine. It was the leads and caps that were letting me down. I was contemplating just getting new leads and caps and drilling into the coils, doing a tight solder job, then JBWeld up the holes. All this to save cost as usual. I probably would have gotten away with this and general points maintenance, but i decided to bite the bullet and just do the whole lot. In the end, i think if your wanting to keep the bike, the cost will wash out anyhow over time.
The 2nd pic looks a bit nicer with the new coils installed. My bike came out of a wrecking yard and was a case of all sorts. I think my bike was used to make other CB750 better. After a very slow resto project of ~5yrs on and off (mostly off) with the first 3 of that sourcing parts at a slow rate, things are coming together and a roadworthy certificate should be in order very soon.
