G'day gentlemen,
Anybody know a good way to check if coils on a SOHC are good? I have power to the coils, and good resistance across the terminals, but since the plug wires are hard wired (I think) to the coils how do you check resistance there? Or is that not a good test? The bike runs (sort of) but I keep getting a random cylinder not firing. It varies by day - sometimes Cylinder 1, then 3, then 2 and so on. So I think it must be an electrical gremlin. I still have stock points and coils. I tried cutting a bit off each plug wire but the problem persists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jim
