Squidley Posted June 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 1, 2013 Get it going?? Not yet, Paul and I are texting eachother. It's late and if he can get someone with a trailer I have suggested to trailer it home. A good nights rest and a fresh mind have done wonders for me when I have had these issues.

Squidley Posted June 1, 2013 Share #7 Posted June 1, 2013 Bike cranks over, just no spark. Could be fuse, but he mentioned he checked them. I had him check the kill switch and it is cycling the fuel pump, so that sounds ok. I'm having him check the 6 wire plug for the pick up coils to see how it is right now.

bkuhr Posted June 1, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 1, 2013 possible kick stand switch even though cmu seems to work. connect all 3 wires at the switch to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted June 1, 2013 did that and still nothing just got home had to leave the bike at advance auto i was not happy :225::depressed::sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted June 1, 2013 Share #13 Posted June 1, 2013 check pickup coils pigtail connection. Remove left side cover pigtail is located on upper frame work where false tank and seat meet can not remember if its red or white. This will cause a no spark condition! My 83 did what yours is doing! Mine was getting bad connection reconnected and it fired right up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted June 1, 2013 Share #14 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I was thinking something like that but wasn't sure what I was thinking. Did you post that when it happened Buddy? This is the same connection that corrodes and fails? I think its white with 3 wires? Or is this the 4 wire one that goes to TCI? Unplug it carefully it could be brittle and want to fall apart but I think Buddy could be right. Clean a little and replug. Better yet just pull apart and stick back togather and try. Get you home and worry about cleaning later. And soldering.... I'm sure you got side covers off. Clean what connections you see and make sure they are getting contact.

This is the same connection that corrodes and fails? Unplug it carefully it could be brittle and want to come apart but I think Buddy could be right. Clean a little and replug. Better yet just pull apart and stick back togather and try. Get you home and worry about cleaning later. And soldering.... Dan are you asking if I posted it when mine went down? If so yes but it was before the system crash we had in 2006. Now that makes me feel like a old timer lol Note: I see Brad had already mention it in earlier post duh I need better reading glasses lol Edited June 1, 2013 by buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share #16 Posted June 1, 2013 i pulled that plug apart several times put it back and still no spark and the 6 wire plug im starting to think its either the pick up coil or i dont know i will be calling a friend of wes0778 at 330 he lives close and has a trailer as f now the saddle bags are off side covers trunk radio and battery wasnt leaving to much with the bike while i am away from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted June 1, 2013 Share #17 Posted June 1, 2013 Paul, It appears that you can check the resistance on the pick up coils. It's the 5 wire plug, disconnect it and measure between the black and the remaining 4 other wires. Ensure that you are measuring the wire that is going down to the side case and not the section going into the wiring harness of the bike. Their colors are Orange, Grey, White/Green, White/Red the ohm reading your looking for is between 93.5 and 126.5. If you have a manual it is in the #7 section, electrical area. It's page 7-36 in my '86 to '93 manual, I'm sure it's close in the 1200 manual as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you would be close to plenty of members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
