QUESTION: i have no fire to the rear coil  change coil and still no fire getting pulse  on one wire to the coil but not the other  any help would be great  thank you

ANSWER: Hello Patrick,

Most probably, your problem is in the CDI unit. 9 out of 10 times, one of the output power transistors bites the dust. If you or a friend of yours have basic electronics knowledge, you can replace it. If not, take a close-up picture of the CDI label and get back to me for further advice. You can always check eBay for a used unit and avoid repair. You could even sent it to me to repair it for you. It'll cost you just postage and transistor value. It'll take time though (dispatch). The choice is yours.

Best Regards,
Lazaros.

P.S. When you say pulse on one wire, you mean battery voltage (+12V) at O/W (orange w/t white stripe) wire when you turn on the ignition switch. Right?
