Been Around the Block
Hey all,
After starting up my CB350 for the first time in a few weeks, I discovered that the right side cylinder wasn't firing. After a bit of digging around, I ended up verifying that it wasn't fuel flow, and was about to check my plugs when I noticed water dripping down onto my toolbox. Opened up the seat to find my electronics tray completely flooded and turned into a big block of ice. Battery is a shorai, so that should be fine. Regulator/Rectifier wasn't in the electronics tray, so that was spared. All the fuses are fine (surprisingly enough. The only thing that is a real concern is the Pamco ignition box was in the water. My guess is that it's fried, but I don't want to buy a new one without testing it to make sure first!
SO, what are my steps. Obviously first I'll want to test to make sure I don't get a spark on the plug with the non-firing cylinder.
Second I'll want to test that it's not the coil (just swapping the wiring for coils, correct?)
Third I'll want to test the ignition. How would I go about this? Seeing if it's the Hall Effect Sensor or the Ignition box or both?
Most I can think of currently is just trace 'em and make sure nothing came loose, but with the circuitry and it being in the water I'm guessing it's likely shorted. Am I stuck just making sure it's not the coils and then getting a new ignition?
Thanks all!
