thanks everyone,forgot to mention new condensors have been fitted...I have a set of dyna coils and standard coils, the problem is there regardless of which coil I hook up... I think I've tried 4 now!pressureangle, could you talk me through your idea in any more detail? the connection from the distributor to each coil is just one wire for each point no? (these I have recently replaced crimped and soldered...) and the coil gets it's 12v through the engine cut-off switch...I have already measured and there is no drop in voltage between the coil terminal and the points...direct fuel line to each carb
If it picks up with the choke, it's probably not spark.
A lean carb will not blacken a plug and if the choke was doing it, you'd see it on both sides equally, if the choke activates both sides.
you have to check the entire circuit through the system, all the way from the battery through the points. Since you have a problem on only one side, you can probably disregard anything upstream of the point at which the left and right circuits diverge. After reviewing a few diagrams, it appears that the coils are tied together with a short piece between them, as they are on mine. Have you replaced that connector between the coils? If not, do so. More than a few times I've found a poor connection at a crimped connector, particularly where they get hot like coil terminals. If you want to be certain, cut it out with enough of the main lead so you can verify the resistance across both terminals and the incoming wire. Clear?
Have you tried a new plug on the offending side ? Dusty
update...Took the heads off and had them reconditioned, put them back on and voila... Thought I'd change the coils again as well.. bike seems to be bang on the money. Sticking valve then? Or a run of bad coils?Thanks to everyone for their input
