Hi fixitsan
I did see that earlier however, it seems a bit odd you can't get these things seperatly and wire it in rather than changing the whole lot! I was thinking maybe the guys that rewind the alternators would be able to help?
As it stands the engine is at tdc as I have the head off renewing the valve seals, there is no resistance what so ever between the 2 cables from the pickup coil, as far as I can tell and from what the book says this would indicate a short in the pickup coil or, possibly the cable, but I haven't got that far yet.
So in my brain wouldn't this mean theres permanent power being fed to the coil and may explain all the funny little weak sparks I was getting at the plug, maybe trying to fire the cylinder to early or something??
I'm getting the bike ready for a solo spain tour in may and its not really filling me with confidence
