One coil not working, off confirmed running bike
« on: May 12, 2016, 07:56:53 PM »
Hey Everyone,

One of the two coils on my cb500k is not producing spark.  I took off coils from a running cb500 and the one side is still not firing.  I have voltage at the blue and yellow wires and also jumped the black wire with white stripe to the engine kill switch and still the same result.  My last assumption would be the condensor correct? 

Cheers,

James

Or points have you checked the gap?
