    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well i moved and my 1986 gs550ef wont start ran when i brought it here but its a wireing nightmare cause of a little fire a ways when i parked it 4 months ago i went and drained float bowls fresh gas no spart at at went bought new coils still no spark i just checked and three coil wires read 12. some thing volts but one read like a hundred an some thing?
 
Don't give up. The electrical guys will chime in shortly with step-by-step for you.
 
Before giving up, how about some pictures of the damage so someone might have a clue as to what might be going on.
 
Not sure if I qualify as "one of the electrical guys", but I'll say that the FIRST thing you need to do is to learn to use your meter, and to learn what to look for.

Finding "12 something" on three coil wires (interesting, because there are only two coils) does not help at all with trying to diagnose the problem long-distance.

When you can give us some better clues, we can give you some better guesses. :-\\\

One other thing that will help is to just start ONE thread on this topic. You started two of them about 10 minutes apart.
