I just bought this bike and its intermittent this issue I'm having, with no spark coming from either coil like the header reads . Any ideas? I've worked on many cars, bikes, sleds, but have never owned/worked on one of these before and any help, insight, or anything for that matter would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou!!!

 

theres a spot on the right side of the motor called a pulse generator..
its a sealed unit, so you cant service it, when mine went, i had no spark at all, once replaced it fired right up..
also i dont know how to test it, just in csase you were wondering..

And of course you should check all the wiring. Maybe there's an internal break somewhere that's not visible? The bike is 20 years old now after all.

An update- I'm getting no resistance from the PG, and also, it only reads about .05vAC when cranking. To me, this is a bad PG. If there should be a bigger red flag here please let me know!

 

.05vDC, not AC sorry

 

i wish i knew,,
i started another thread hoping someone who knew the system (electric) would chime in..
on my 97 my PG went bad, for no apparent reason.. anyway i replaced it and my bike runs fine, however it skips on the higher end of the rps"S which tells me i still have a problem..
i planning on doing allot of reading through the winter months just to understands how ever little peice effects the next.. ill come back here if i have any ah ha moments, sorry i couldnt help you right away..
