I've had other posts on here about this bike but the basic story is that the bike ran (with other issues) and then after installing a new complete top end I can't get it to produce proper spark.
I have rested the spark plug on the head and have seen what I would describe as a bright blue spark but then there will be nothing after it. I've also held a screwdriver in the spark plug cap and have felt a shock but I don't think it's ever happened more than twice (if that...) before I gave up waiting for the next spark.
I have tested the continuity of the off/run/start switch and it's correct for each setting.
Primary coil resistance: 0.32-0.48Ω
Mine likes to sit at 2.1Ω which is a bit high even if you allow for the leads. I'm only using a cheap multimeter so it might not be that accurate at low readings?
Secondary coil resistance: 5.68-8.52kΩ
This was right around 6kΩ, good.
Pick up coil resistance: 18-22Ω
20.3Ω, good
Charging coil resistance: 297-363Ω
Nothing
Lighting coil resistance: 0.57-0.69Ω
Nothing
These are from a different year model manual but I don't think they changed at all.
I also tried testing on each end of the spark plug cap but I can't get any reading for that.
Any idea why I can't get a reading for 2 of the 3 coils? Did I somehow blow both of them or am I just doing something wrong?
Is there anything else I can do or do I need to start looking for a stator to buy?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
