    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.

I seem to have everthing hooked up and working properly...except for spark. I know the sparkplugs are good. Would the 3 yellow wires coming out of my rectifier, connected to the wrong wires prevent spark? I checked my coils for resistence, I got about 7 ohms. Is there a way to check the ignition module? If you have any ideas, please let me know.


Thanks
Mike
 
When you checked your coils you did disconnect them first? 7 ohms is too high, 5 is the max.
 
They were disconnected. I dont exactly remember the number, I could check em again... But if there is an ohm reading, that means theyre good right? Also, do you know a way to check the device on the right hand side, the electronic ignition, formerly where the points were located?
 
The Clymer's manual usually has a good test to find out if the ignition system is working. One is a resistance test of the signal generators (under the right side 'points' cover), the other tests the ignitor.
