coils swap

i have a 85 xj700n aircooled will the coils work of the xj700 x model,iven if the mounts arnt the same thats fine,our is there a diffrent model,i checked ebay and thay look diffrent then mine,

 

Not certain but I doubt the Maxim-X coils will work effectively with the Maxim. The two motorcycles were pretty different beasts. But, there are various after-market coils that will work. But you're into the mounting issue again. Many forum members have switched to dyna coils.

 

I am a bit confused by your post.

You have an 85 XJ700N?

The coils you have are from an XJ700X?

Please confirm.

 

i have the n model,i need a set of coils mine gave out,i looked on ebay any the only one are from a xj700x

 

To the best of my very limited knowledge, the difference between the Maxim-X and the Maxim N coils is found in the boots themselves where the Maxim-X boots are orange and long, fitting deeply into the engine and sealing the shaft so nothing can get down on the spark plug, keeping the well clean.

I suggest posting a more clearly titled question so the Maxim-X and Maxim N wizards might be attracted to answer or clarify and settle any questions

Here are links for two coils which appear to be for Maxim N's

r u sure the coils gave out. there are lots of things that can go wrong to stop the coils from working. not just the coils themselves.

 

there is a new tci unit i just put in,and pick-up ciol is replaced,it runs good untill it warms up then it starts to sputter in low rpm sound like when u pull a plug wire of,there is new plugs and caps to,thats the only thing i can think of.after i get past the sputtering it run good untill i come to a stop.what are the chances it could be my tci agian.do yous think its the coils...

 

Kinda of what my 550 does, but I am going to check the valve clearances first since I have no idea when this has been done. Then I will be looking into the ignition, if the symptoms continue. Of course I have replaced plugs, rebuilt and sync'd the carbs. It's just a thought. Keep us posted.

 

i fianly found the proublem,i went and took a chance a bought a coil of of my buddy,he had a hole box of them for xj,this coil came off a 650xj it a little bigger but it did the trick..thank everyone for some ideas..
