Well so much for my theory… totally wrong!
I'm baffled as to exactly how it caused the ignition unit to overheat, perhaps the heavily loaded lighting circuit dragged the supply volts to the coils down. If the unit is clever it might increase the dwell time to compensate, but without a circuit diagram of the innards that's just guesswork.
Anyway, I'm glad you solved it.

....its not 100% yet fazerider?....still got to get a new switch unit and connect it up!! yes its proved the fault is there in that region and yes it does look like it was the high wattage bulbs at fault?....but i dont know yet if anything else is fkd do i? ....if its been contained in that switch unit fine? but i havnt looked any further into the loom for any more damage yet? i could still have more burnt wiring yet?...

[CRH]
