TEK KP03 coil on ALPINO?

Dear friends,
?Does the TEK KP03 coils work, as straight switch, on the ALPINO standard BOSCH ignition?
I have a quite weak spark on both cylinders, and I would like to know if the cheap swap mentioned above could help to improve it.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Thanks a lot Rob,
I thought nobody had the answer, I saw lot of related post talking about these coils but only for big tripples and 750's.
Regards and thanks again!  :D

Just be aware that the TEK coils may be better but the trigger wires may be shorting due to the insulation breaking down and the balast resisters that are mounted at the coils wont be helping your weak spark try bypassing the resisters first and see if that helps.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, yes I found at the starting of the process that most of the pick up wires were partially bared, I fixed them with cloth insulating tape and some drops of a kind or resin on the pick up body, the "seem" (never better expressed!) to be OK now.
I was tempted before to bypass the balast resisters but I was affraid to fry the ignition modules as it is suggested in some post in the event of some coil failure, I know that the definitive solution will be to change to a modern ignition system but right now the almost 400 euro that they cost will make a big hole in my pocket!!!
Let me take the opportunity to wish all of you a nice Happy New Year 2017!
 
Removing the ballast resistors is highly recommended.  You're very unlikely to have any problems doing this and using TEK coils in place of the original items.
