SOURCE: my stock coil has 1

That's because your new coil is probably for a "single fire" ignition system. Your original coil is designed for a "dual fire" ignition system. It depends on your ignition system. If your ignition system is a stock system, it's a "dual fire" ignition system. In other words, both spark plugs fire at the same time every time the piston comes to top dead center. This generates what is known as a "wasted spark" on the cylinder that is on it's exhaust stroke but Harley has used this system for many years and still does today. I'd suggest that you look up the part number of your Accel coil and see if it is designed for use with a single fire aftermarket ignition system. If your bike uses the original ignition system, see if you can return the coil in exchange for the proper coil. Be aware that some dealers and parts sellers will not exchange or refund on electrical parts.

Good Luck

You have the wrong coil for your bike. This coil is designed to be used with a "single fire" ignition system. If you have the stock ignition system on your bike, it is the original "dual fire" ignition. Harley has used a dual fire ignition system on all their bikes except a very few years ago. Try to exchange the coil for the correct one where you bought it.

Good Luck

Check for the correct dwell on your points and for any vacuum leaks. Also, check the resistance on your plug wires, replace if needed.
I hope this helps.

I have a 1993 GMC sierra 1500 extended cab 4.3 v6 TBI and I'm hearing stories about this Accel Remote Mount Super Coil burning out Ignition Control Modules

I don't know about your particular application, but I do know that manufacturers are not using heavy enough wire for many things on a vehicle. So if the coils are bigger (higher output voltage) then they probably would draw more power and more load on control modules. I don't know any reason why stock would not be enough spark, these are a lot more powerful already than ignition systems were 40+ years ago. So in my opinion, no I wouldn't do it.

How to fix twin tech harley coil 1005

Do you mean the coil (as you stated), or the ignition module?
1005 is the model number for the Daytona Twin-Tec ignition system.
Has it ran before, and just started not running right?I have this system on one of my bikes. One day, it just started running on one cylinder, and it was a bad unit, NOT the coil!Heat is the biggest killer for these.
These units are designed for using a VOES switch.
Also, on the unit is 4 rotary switches.The "MODE" switch MUST coincide to if you are running a single or double fire ignition!

The engine will not run if the mode switch setting does not match the wiring hookup (i.e. you cannot select single fire mode with a dual fire coil hookup).
