why would a new coil leak ?




Because it's cheap chinese junk , call whomever you bought it from and get another one. I have a flamethrower from back when they were USA made , a few years later i bought one and it was made in china , I sent it back without even opening the package and bought an MSD Epoxy filled coil , it was made in USA , but I think now MSD is now outsourcing also ...

Good luck...
