After reading recent posts, I think the ignition coil maybe at fault. i'm quite happy to replace it, but thought I would ask your advice on what to rep...

Re: Ignition coil ?

Hi all

Still struggling with my AR, just checked the coil as the manual says. Primary coil measures 0.6 - 0.7 ( higher than the
manual says) Secondary reads nothing at all, with or without HT lead or cap. Does this mean it's dead?
thanks in advance

Thanks again

Until two weeks ago, out on a ride we stopped & turned off engines for some horses. After a short break we were going to carry on but mine would not s...

Re: She's alive! Hooray, electrical problem boooo

Thanks Heli The earth from the headlight goes to the left handle bar switch & was broken at the two wires to the clutch switch. They were folded back on themselves & cable tied to the other wires. I cut the dodgy section out & soldered new wire in, but in my hurry didn't put the horn switch in corre...

Re: stator problem

don't think so as I have been cranking it by hand with the plug out and shorting to the engine and there is no spark,also the poor sods who pushed me all weekend said there was loads of compression.
