    No, the reversed connections cannot be blamed for the problem. It just caused some confusion in locating it.

    It could be worth searching the CS site for info about a replacement. It could have been here that I read about buying the coil as a separate part for half the price of a complete valve & coil assembly.

      I just remembered - site sponsor Coffeeparts has several coils listed at about $30. One of them will probably fit your Classic.

      Call or email them, they will know which one you need and they give great customer service and fast delivery.

        Hi D.G.
        I emailed them yesterday, couldn't find the exact coil on their site, so just awaiting response. Also emailed a couple of other places. I've got the coil next to me, will wander down to Jaycar this morning and see if they have something. Keen to get this machine up and running again!
