So I'm working on my buddies '75 xs650.
He has no spark, yep I know another one.
So I sanded the points clean with 1200 grit. Pulled the plugs and no spark. Removed the plugs from the boot and put in a screwdriver, no arc to jugs.
Voltage on battery with charger is 12.5. tested kill switch it has 0 ohms resistance. Push button starter was a doorbell, removed that and put in a generic pushbutton horn button from advanced auto. It attempts to kick over, so those were just cursery checks.
I'm down to the coils and the condenser. So the points have an orange and gray wire coming from them. Shouldn't I be able to test the wires coming of the points for spark? The condenser I know is a . 22mfd cap, and I rest them at work but mine are 2 and 3 post. How can I test a 1 wire for it's charge. Lastly how would I even go about testing a coil?
Thanks in advance for reading that wall of text. Any HP would be appreciated.
