I just ran this check on my 2001 750 ACE. My secondary reading was the same as youors. I have spent way rtoo much money trying to figure this out. I will check the wires, then replace the wires or coils. Hopefully, this will fix the problem.
hi fella.i know this is an old video but good. i have a yamaha 400xs 1981.carbs been on and off god knows how many times .my bike runs but when it gets hot it cuts out at idle🤔i checked the coils .i get4.6ohms at primary but no reading at secondary. could this be my problem 🤔
What about a non-polarity Dynatek coil? I get 4.5-5.0 primary test, and 1. using the high tensile lead test, on both! But the bike runs on both cylinders! What am I doing wrong?
Can the secondary coil be bad only on one side or would I have an electrical wiring issue. I have the 3.1 Holms but still no spark for cylinder 4 on a 1991 gsxr 750. Number 1 cylinder is getting spark and they share a coil
So the bike don’t have to be running to test this ? Just turn the key on ? I’m dealing with my rear cylinder losing spark on my 96 Honda shadow 1100ace
If your magneto is fucked could that also read the ignition coil is fucked? I get 4.5ohms on the pig tails but nothing when connected to the coil. I've recently found out that the magneto is screwed and that's why im not getting a spark. Just wondering if the coil is bad or it's cause of the magneto. Thanks.
Love your vid brother. I've done everything to this motorcycle from carbs, vac lines, plugs, fuel pump, oil/oil filter. The bike starts right up and idles great, it dies upon throttle unless I spray fuel in airbox or carbs, then it will rev normal. Can a bad coil still spark just enough to idle but not rev? Any help appreciated.
you need to test the pick up modules that operate off the crank shaft inside the engine. . i have found this is usually gone. they also trigger the fuel pump. go get a 4 psi fuel pump from your speed shop . honda fuel pump no longer available. by pass all that wiring and put your new p u coils in. its tricky
Hi there. Nice informative video. Thank you. I did this method on my bike which has electronic ignition. Both coils had about 18 ohms on the primary test but on the second test, both had no movement on the multimeter, it just stayed on 1.... What does this mean???
I have a ATV no spark. Coil has a positive and negative. Both have constant hot wires when key is on. Doesn't seem right. Should the negative one be grounded? Adopted someone else's nightmare.
