Ok so I’m having spark trouble on my 1979 xs400 and I think it’s my coils, I replaced new ones a little while back when I changed my cdi, cause I crossed the battery terminals over, but the coils were stripped out so after so many kicks or too much vibration the plug wire would fall out and I’d lose spark. Now with new cdi, fresh carb rebuild, The bike will start for a minute and then die, and the coils were extremely hot after just a couple tries, one more than the other. I got the cheap ones off mikes xs last time before seeing they’re not great. So now I’m just wondering what ones are best? Pic of the original coils bought for reference

What did you end up going for? I'm shopping for new coils. My left one leaked out. While it still parks fine, I'm sure it wont be long before it fails.
