I got the pamco ignition with the green high output coil a week ago as a kit from mikesxs and it was working fine for a about 50 miles.When I pulled in the drive yesterday and quit like I shut the key off. Luckily I was home or it would have really sucked. I check the ignition with a inline tester and the spark was really weak from both sides. I used my clamps with a new plug that clamps it to a ground to check the spark, and on the spark plug there is no visable spark either side. I have it all grounded correctly to the frame. All connections are soldered. I never had the wire unhooked when starting or running either. I know mike's won't take care of it, I've had trouble in the past and he just get's pissed at me. I have no idea why I bought from him again.
I see a lot of people are having trouble with them, did I make a mistake getting this setup? I really don't want to be 100 miles from home and have the bike's ignition take a shit. I hope it's the coil, I did read they are made so cheap that if a wire come loose it destroys itself.
I checked the wires to make sure boots and terminal for the coil were good. And they are.
