Wow, sorry to hear of all your problems, Hoople will get you squared away hang in there , sorry I could not help you figure this one out , Capital JackHoople-Answers to #86
1A) Front of the coil towards forks. I have 2 wires wraped in a single sleeve. One is white, and the other looks blue. I also have another single white wire hooked to the same place. The blue wire is attached to the front and then runs to the back.
This is where I attached 1 end of the red light wire, and the other to the frame for ground.
1B) On the back of the coil is the blue wire that runs from the front, and also the pink/red color wire.
2) I unplugged the pink wire from the back, and will let you know next time I ride what the spark plug test shows if it fails.
3) I cleaned/sanded not only ALL terminals, but also the frame down to bare metal.
4) Time to show my ignorance again. I have never used an ohm meter, but will pick one up @ Wally Mart next visit. Can you tell me if the bike should be running to do the test?
5) As I mentioned after cleaning the ground on the ign mod to perfection, and putting in new plugs, it never sputtered or failed the entire ride Sat. What did happen though is almost home, I noticed the red light was out, but running perfectly. Reached down to see if anything was loose but felt nothing. Few min later light was back on.
Pulled in driveway and red light off again. Left running, tightened both ends, would not come on. Left the bike sit for about an hour off, came back & turned ign on, and got a red light. So either "time" or "heat" or some other factor caused that light to go out, even though it ran perfect.
I agree in finding the exact problem and NOT just saying it went away, so I'm fine. As always appreciate the help here. And not that it's your concern but a lot is happening @ my job. I'm responsible for all of the raws & all of the making area for Covergirl Cosmetics Powders business, which is world wide. Our site is the only site that supplies the world. Things have been blowing up the last few weeks.
Add in 2 elderly (83 for momma & 88 for pop) parents, and life is hectic. Both now in assisted living. Mother has been in hospital 2 times the last month, and fallen 4 times. Been making trips from work to PA & back to MD on what seems to be a regular basis. I mean come on. Had the bike 26 years and didn't even think I had a tach. Jeez. My brain is slightly fried of late.
