ok, first, you will need an ohm meter. maesure between the power and ground terminals on the coil. should be .28-.38 ohms. next, measure between the ground terminal and each of the plug caps individually. 4700-7100 ohms. if you get a bad reading, remove the cap, and test at the wire. still bad, remove the wire, and test directly at the coil. if the coil checks out good, make sure it's getting good ground. the next to test would be the plugs at the cdi. the 4 wire plug goes to the stator. should read 14-20 ohms between red and green, around 110 between red/white & green/white. the 5 wire plug goes to everything else. with the key, and kill switch on, measure between all the wires, none should have continuity, except the orange, which is the coil. if all that checks out, remove your stator cover, and check the pickup gap should just fit a buisness card, also shouldn't be any junk or rust in there
btw- love the name. what i be?
