Last week I rode the Ambo in hot weather. When I stopped the bike after about 50 miles I noticed smoke coming from someplace on the engine. I immediately thought that the oil breather had been huffing a bit under the heated strain and had belched out some oil. Not so. It was the coil. The coil had gotten hot too and oil oozed out the the cable contact area and dripped onto the engine. The coil still worked but when I got home I pulled the coil and installed a new Bosch Blue 'somethingorother' as reccommended on this list (thanks!). Got it through JC Whitney. The old coil still has oil in it. I shook the new coil to see if there's oil in it but heard nothing sloshing around in there. New coil works great. So, what is better coils with or without oil?? Why? Bob
