At the end of last summer, I installed new Dyna coils, a Bore-Tech electronic ignition and a Rick's Motorsport Electrics charging coil.
I followed the instructions for each component and wired everything back up the way it looked when I started... with the new components
installed. The days were getting cold. So I put everything back together ready for a restart in the spring. Like a dummy, I didn't think
to test it.
I tried to start it earlier this week and it wouldn't turn over because I thought the battery was dead. I tried all the buttons and even when I hit
the horn the headlight would dim.
So I went and bought a new battery and tried to start it. The starter motor runs but no start. Oddly though, the horn doesn't work either even
though when I had the toasted battery in it... the headlight would dim.
All signals, lights, brakes everything works. I then pulled out the spark plug and hit the starter and looked for spark... nothing.
I am not exactly sure where to start looking for where the problem is... can you give me some advice of where to start. I don't have a meter so I need to go
buy one.
It would be ideal if there were some kind of flowchart for this kind of thing.
