Running on 1 Cyl

966 Views 5 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  V-FORE
Bike was running very weak
so I have realized that the right cyl was not working(holding on to the exhaust told me that) I changed out the cdi box, since I had another one & no change. I am getting a very weak spark(holding on to the plug while cranking) when I checked the other side(much stronger spark) so I have changed the wires going into the coils with no change so I have come to the conclusion that I need a coil
If there is something I have left out let me know. Next question does anybody have some spares that they would like to sell??? I figure that I might as well change them as a set.



Thanks in advance

Thanks Blue Fox, I just double checked & when I check the left coil(holding onto the plug while cranking)very weak spark, then I plugged the power wire of the left coil(yellow)into the one for the left side(pink) & received quite a nice shock
and verified that with the right coil same procedure, same results. so know I know that it is not the coil, or the cdi box so I will try to read the wiring diagram & figure out what triggers the left side & check that out next.
