Running on one and tried all I know - HELP!
Been away on holiday for about three weeks and return to find the bike which has never missed a beat will only run on the rear cylinder. No spark to the front and the sun is shining! Expected a bit of condesation at the worst but.. Stripped everything down and tried as much as I can given illogical tendencies and this is what I find after a days head scratching. Coils seem fine although secondary readings fall outside of Haynes limits of 10.8k ohms - 16.20 ohms with 16.29 and 16.71. A few dodgy bits of wire but nothing that couldn't be eliminated. However at the moment I can't get a reading across the terminals of the front pick up coil wheras the rear is spot on. Questions: Could the pick up coil give up the ghost just by standing for a couple of weeks? Is it an easy job to replace it/them? Am I missing something like another dodgy connection that could cause this? And does anyone know (or have their tank up to see) which way the two wires (red/white) go into the connector block from the front pick up coil to the left hand ignition control unit (as you sit on the bike). I took them out without noting which way and they are the only ones not colour coded in Haynes. Any leads (arf arf) gratefully received. Cheers, Paul. |
