here is the background info (76, hughs pma, pamco ignition, running on battery)
k so yesterday I fired up my bike and everything went great except for today. So I tried to fire up my bike with a sparx capacitor except I wasn't getting enough power, I gave it gas and it died. So what I did is I switched it to battery fired up good, making sure to be careful of my plugs being in properly I noticed that the left plug didn't click all the way. I kind of though I fried my coil.
Doesn't start well... I go and try to time the bike and I put the clamp on the left coil wire and the timing gun fires only sometimes. I'm getting a lot of backfire now. I put the timing gun on the right side it and the gun fires well, except for the marking stays at tdc then it skips every now and then.
Is this a sign of a faulty coil? Should I put new plugs in?
These spark plugs are from last year and barely used though they are quite black.
help would be great, any missing info please let me know
