pretty dang hot . hot enough for me to think its hot haha. waited about 15 minutes before I disconnected

Ok so lets say there's no power to the coil when the key if off. when I switch the key and kick the bike (to show spark) the coil automatically starts to get hot. waited for a bit but didn't seem to be cooling off so I just disconnected battery.

that's definitely what happened. Got the new ignition. great spark. The issue I am having now is the coil getting hot still. I understand that its because there power to it when the key is off? At the moment there's no fuse or anything in my wiring so the battery + goes straight from the...

Xs charge as well.

Hey Everyone back again with some questions! working on a 78 XS with a Mike XS XScharge PMA (with Battery) I am building another new XS chopper bikes done and great, got the lights wired up and everything turns on from the key. I had spark while kicking it and I put the battery charger on...

Nah this isn't stockk wired. Its an electronic ignition PMA and kick only wiring. Running headlight and tail light with brake light that's all. Ill try the ground down to the battery from the ignition ground ya ive done resistance and ohm testing on everything per this thread !

like from the ignition black directly into the battery negative?

I don't have a timing light. Thinking I have to get a new ignition plate after reading this thread https://www.xs650.com/threads/electronic-ignition-problem.54386/page-2

Sorry 0.00

And / or 0.08

They both read at 001 with the key switched off. What does that mean?

Oh shit . Never mind I got it. There is a small spark! Just got it. so what does that eliminate next ?

Is there a way to test the coil being bad beyond it having fine power?

The power to the coil is good and all the ohms through the wires to the plug is good. So is it bad ?

No

Do I need to be rotating the engine ? Still doesn’t really make sense to me! Both spark plugs are grounded . One is in its hole and one is plugged to the wired touching the engine. No spark from the plugs . Spark touching the ground on and off . So my coil that has power is bad all of a...

Tried my best to take a photo and explain. So here is my coil. the red has power . Green has power. The ground in the middle has been moved and it didn’t make a difference. the large red wire from the coils runs to the brown wire coming out of my ignition key switch. From the ignition key...
