Try it (with out) a regulated power supply or 1 amp. Most people trying it use a battery with unlimited current. I have a 12 amp power supply regulated.

Yours don't ? here the pictures: first coil: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/6575/cimg92547oh.jpg second coil: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/5259/cimg92568sr.jpg close view: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/2229/cimg92580in.jpg 1A @ 12V = 12W -> not enough to burn the coils ! At least not within a few seconds and under regular conditions. In my case the engine also was still hot from driving. Resistance of the single coils is around 14 Ohm. Elvis & 6548 ok, You try it with 12 volts direct. I have plenty of new ones in stock waiting.
