Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I had things other than my bike that needed attending to first so I haven't been able to work on it for a couple of months here, but the other day I cleared up my schedule, and ran into an issue.
I rebuilt the top end of the motor, replacing piston rings and gaskets, got everything back on the frame, and kicked the motor, she started right up. Then I took the motor out again, finished paint, got the motor back in, then wired the whole electrical system. The problem now is that I have no spark. I found one discontinuity in my system and fixed it. Still no spark. All signals, horn, headlight work fine, everything is grounding, but now I have no power on the negative side of my coils. I have power up through the harness to the positive side of the coils, but when I kick it slowly, I'm not getting any spike of voltage across the coil. I didn't drop them or anything, what could have happened over a couple of months that would make them go bad, or is there something else I'm missing? Should I look for a new set? Thanks in advance.
