Just for fun I bought a set of coils from Aliexpress seller "Garden Replace Online Store" for the princely sum of $A37 to see if they cured a tendency to cut out at idle after a fast run.
Well why not?
Fitted them today and as advertised they fitted the T350 coil cradle exactly, had a good set of plug caps attached and the bike started up first kick, so far so good.
The next test will be an extended run to see if they behave.

Re: Chinese coils for my T350
i've used quite a few chinese bits over the last 5 years or so and tbh [he says touching wood] i've never had a problem with any of it. carbs, front master cylinders, even speedo drives. a couple of bikes i built had to have the front disc on the left and the speedo drive on the right. obviously a normal gt speedo drive would go the wrong way and the speedo wouldn't work. so i decided to give a brand new hyosung srx 250 or some such make speedo a whirl. it's an exact copy of the gt speedo drive, except it runs backwards. fits perfectly and the speedo now works as it should. for £12 brand new including post they were bargains. i've had one of the front master cylinders on for about 3 years now and it's never leaked, works perfectly and even has the brake light switch built in. less than £10 including post. you could pay that for the lever on its own
cheers, dd.
p.s. the only thing wrong with the master cylinders is if you spill brake fluid on the paint and don't wipe it straight off, the paint bubbles and rubs off. apart from that i'm dead pleased with the build quality.
