Hey guys. Got a new battery in my bike. Last time I tried to start it when on a jumper, it ran and sparked great! Strong and steady. Thing is, I have a new battery, voltage reading great, I press start and the starter turns over strong, but their is absolutely no spark! From either side. Tried gas on the plugs, still no spark. Ran great last time, and now suddenly it won't run! Checked my fuses, swapped them around and they all seem to be good. Cleaned connections to the TCI, and they seem good. What could be happening here? I have the bike in neutral and what not, but I just don't get why I'm not getting spark, and why this happened so suddenly. By the way, the bike is an 83 maxim 400. I'm not the best with electronics, so where would be the wires I would test to check the TCI? Is it possible my coils went? Are they known to die suddenly?
