Thats because the coil only fires at half the rate because there is 2.

Do they have an EDIS unit?? (sorry im not up on cossies )

If you hunt around on the MegaJolt site you'll find a simple circuit for running two coil conversions with your old rev counter.

You don't do the mod on the rs2000 rev counter, it should read correctly already!!

The mod is for the standard one.
