ignition coil problem or is this normal?
hello everybody! let me start off by saying i am a new member, however i have been using this forum for quite some time and i want to thank you all for sharing your knowledge with others and making my life alittle easier when i run into a problem with my build! i searched for this same problem in the forums but didnt seem to come up with anything so i figured i would post.
ok now on to my project, i am building a 93 Fatboy. i will post pics of the build soon. it has been completely torn down, jugs bored out, andrews cam, wisco high comp pistons, compufire adjustable ignition module, adjustable lifters, all new gaskets, motor is all back together, new stretched tank, new smooth rear fender, side mount plate bracket, fresh paint (painted it myself in my garage), drag bars, led turn signals, fat spoke rims and a few other mods.
ok now that i got that out of the way, im in the process of putting it all back together. tonight i connected the battery to check some wiring i had repaired from the previous owners hack jobs. i noticed that when i turn the ign switch on the lights would remain alittle dim for 5 - 10 seconds, then the ignition coil would click (i made sure it is the coil, you can feel it click) once it clicks all the lights are bright and everything is fine. is this normal? i checked the wiring, all looks correct. i have batt voltage at all 3 posts with ign on. (about 10 volts before click, 12 volts after click) the coil looks exactly like the crane fireball coil, but has no company markings on it. thank you for any help!!
sorry for the really long post, just figured id cover everything so you know where im at. again thanx to all of you for your help and time!!

You might want to post this in the Evo section. I'll bet they have more info than us here.
