Bare with me, I have no idea what I'm doing here. Sorry! I'm just using a test light to make sure everything has power as there was so much done to existing wires. My test light comes on at the ignition coil, but not at the screw coming out of the coil (I was told this should trigger the...

Update: I ran a test wire from the coil to see if I could get a spark on that, nothing. Using my continuity tester I tested the wires going into the pickup coil and only got a signal from 2 out of the 4 wires. Followed them all the way back to the TCI box and tested them there and still nothing...

I just stepped into a new world. I purchased an '81 xs400 Special last week. This is my first bike and it needs a little love. First step in the project is to put blinkers back on it. I had to purchase a new relay as the original owner ripped the old one out. With the new relay in I still...
