Bob,
I think that what happens is the coil gets hot and melts something inside.
My bet is the insulation material between the windings. By the way don't
drink that stuff....likely toxic.

Subject: OIL IN THE COIL!!!!!!
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
