I just got a yamaha 1963 YG1 .
But I am not getting spark.
When I turn the key on nothing seems to work except for the horn....
All the wires are connected. I got my ground wire screwed down to the same the place as the screw where the ignition goes.
I just got a NOS ignition switch so it should be fine. New spark plug.
I have a new set of points coming in so I hope that fixes it.
But what would be a good pathway to test some stuff with a multimeter.
What is the minimum I would need to get spark.
How does the rotor produce spark?
There is unfortunately not much info out there , but this community is amazing with the XS650 so I figured maybe there's a yamaha enthusiast that has had one of these before.
