to add a pick to a post view the pic in your alwbum and bellow is a line called BB code copy and paste that whole thing into the comment box and it will appear. Like this. Nice Bike BTW.
This is probably the greatest product i have ever found.
Its a simple spray that make nearly everything impervious to liquids.
I coated all my tools and they never get greasy again. All my work cloths are covered in this and i come home just as clean as I leave. And i work in the oil feild and...
I cleaned off the connections but made no change. Is there a way to test this part with a multimeter? Also would this also cause the weak spark on the left side?
Could the Duckt taped connecter here be my problem? What are they 2 things on the frame anyway? Are they the pickup coils or my flasher relays?
And here what are these 2 things.
That's the worst part I put the deeper one in first as the other gets in the way. Its not easy. I was basicly poking it back up there with 2 fingers hoping to get lucky.
I'm having the same problem with my bike 82 seca. The coils are kinda a pain with fat hands like mine. When you take the tank off you'll see 2 small nuts on each side of the frame. Left side should be aligned vertically and the right side should be diagonal in the direction of the frame. Those...
Thanks for sourcing that for me. I'll eventualy get those to make the bike like new. But as it stands I've tested wires, coils, boots and spark plugs work fine. Both wires and both spark plugs work great on the left coil. Both coils also work. I've crossed the connecters on the coils and the...
I tested the wires, plugs, coils all are good. I cross the harness plugs on the coils and the problem swaps sides so that tells me the spark problem is something farther back in the ignition system.
Any more ideas? Whats the next step?
I tested both boots but i must have done it wrong as i couldn't get a reading on either boot. I ran out of daylight so tomorrow I'll test both wires on the left side to see if both wire work then its probably the coil.
Ah I re read your post and tried with the ground cable directly on the the right engine block. No change. The left plug sparks great grounded to either block so I'm thinking is coil or cable. If I could get the dang things out I'd test them.
I am currently using jumper cables as I killed the battery cranking. Made no difference on the spark. Trying to get to the coils now but their a pain their jamned up in the frame under The tank right? Is the an easier way to check them besides pulling the upper supports off?
Tank did have fuel stabilizer when i parked it. Plus it has an inline filter. Heres hoping to clean carbs but i don't think thats my immediate issue. fuel flows freely from petcock on prime and during cranking.
Both spark plugs spark great on the LEFT side but same no spark on the RIGHT side...
