The problem with this mod with 1.6 ohm coils is that if you parallel them you double the current flow through the power transistor in the CDI and if you put them in series you will only have 6volts per coil and less current. Standard Coil is 1.87 to 2.53 ohms primary resistance
Starndard coils operate at about 6 amps
"Parallel" could burn out the CDI (12 volts 12 amps)
"Series" will give a very weak spark. (6 volts and 3 amps)
You would need Stick coils with a primary resistance of about 3 ohms to be safe as this would give the about the same current flow.
