I b
I have Isolated the ignition circuit and unplugged the charging system .I Used a test light to try and feel like I did something right as voltmeter reading were less than a volt. This is debatebly inconclusive though because my volt meter did not react to key switch changes and my test light did. This however fluctuates with no apparent changes to the system a kinda wait five minutes try again and it doesnt work thing. I also wasn't sure what voltage should be running though my system. As of now I have everything wired as it should be ( But i guess somehow i do not) but it is not sucking power into my system when the keyswitch is turned . This is extremely frustrating as its very little wiring and I possess elementary knowledge of Circuits. If I hot wire pass the key switch so power is feeding directly into the brown wires on my coils, I should have spark correct? I do not have my wiring like this now for fear of damaging things. I have the grey and orange from points fed into two two-to-one bullet spliters that runs to my coils and my condensor which, runs back into my coils, after power is fed from the brown wire from my key switch into the brown wires on my coils.Pheww.
I guess what Im asking is what should my voltage be with the key switch off and then on, between my positive and my first 20amp and then before my coils after the keyswitch after the three way connector.
Also If I were to hotwire past my key switch to the brown wires on my spark coils power should be constantly flowing into my system, correct?
What should the Dc voltage read between battery and my 20amp fuse in this scenario? Would voltage only pass when spark fires, or is it constantly flowing into the system until the condensor "charges"?
The only ground in the Ignition system is spark and condensor correct?
Am I missing a component? I pulled the wiring myself and I think I would have noticed an ignition box.
If voltage is low what should i do to fix it
And Is there anything that you noticed from my photos?
so i run power from battery to 20amp inline
through the thick starter solinoid terminal
it feeds from the fuse through the headlight
to my main switch red wire, the brown wire then is split
feeding power to the brown wires on my coils
the orange leads are connected to my points
and spilt with 2-1 bullet connections to what i believe is my condensor
Ive been pulling my hair out because Ive followed my wiring diagram and believe its correct, so i dont understand why im not gettting spark. Ive tried with charging system connected and disconnect. Thank you for you help I hope my questions are coherant enough to help me quickly and easily. These are the missing pieces of the puzzle to as to why im confused by the circuit
additionally if anyone would be down to have a brief phone conversation with me 10 min it would be greatly appriciated I feel like I am very close but am missing a tiny piece due to lack of knowledge ALSO I belive I have a 79 650 F model and a solid state reg/rec from a later model.I just watched this video Yamaha tech training video and the section on CDI's has confused me do I even need to run power to coils If im going kick only?
