Electrical problems

[nfk]

My Banshee has been hard to start and not firing evenly. When it is reved it misses worse. Then when it is running it will not shut off with the key switch, only the kill switch works. I tested both switches and they are fine. I tested the stator and it is within spec. I then took off the coil and it tested fine on the Primary test, but showed no continuity on the Secondary test, with or without the plug caps. So I have narrowed it down to the coil being bad but my question is if the key switch problem could at all be related to the bad coil. I was just checking if anyone else has any ideas.

 

My bike has K&N pods, t5's, and the wiring for the Tors was removed by the previous owner. When I was Tearing all the electrical apart I noticed that he had spliced the two wires together on the wiring harness where the throttle switch was plugged in. I have never heard of having to splice any wires when doing the tors removal, and I was wondering if this is necessary. Thanks for any help.

the keyswitch could be bypassed. it doesn't matter about the throttle switch, as long as the little black box under the gas tank is disconnected. throw a new coil on there, and check your pickup gaps on the stator.

I plan on borrowing a working coil from a friend to check it out. The weird thing about the key switch was that it was working fine the day before this all happened, thats how i always shut it off. I checked the pickup gap and it was .028"
