I've got a group ride to participate in tomorrow and things aren't looking good!
Yesterday, I changed the oil...that was the easy part. Took it for a "test drive" afterwards and everything seemed OK.
When I went to start it this morning...NO SPARK! I have been through the manual but it's as if mine is different (2001)...the diagrams for measuring the coil resistance don't look anything like my coil!
While cranking it over, there doesn't seem to be any power getting to the coil...but I don't know where to go from here! If it had points and a condensor, I'd have it figured out by now but this has me completely baffled! The parts dealer is only open for another few hours and I don't know what to do.
- Definitely no spark.
- Coil resistance on primary seems to be about 0.3 ohms
- Coil resistance on secondary seems to be about 19 ohms
- Apparently no "voltage" getting to coil during cranking...where do I look now?
The manual mentions measuring "pickup coil" and "source coil" resistances but I have no idea where these items are located...why do they always crap out when you need them?
