Hello all, Just wondering about electronic ignitions and them being left switched on inadvertently overnight or for days... There has been some mention of this damaging the coil and damaging the electronic ignition. I am wondering how this works as I thought the master switch would isolate the coil from being "open" or what ever it is that damages them otherwise don't we theoretically have a live engine (no impulse so not likely to start) but is this the case? It is a bosche setup in our machine and I am curious to understand why this effects the coil. If someone could fill me in on the how & why it would be great.
