I have been building a bike over the last 3.5 years. The bike was running when I pulled it apart (sorry to the purists out there) and I assumed if I packed everything away in a dry safe place it would run when I put it back together. Unfortunately it didn’t start. Fuel is pumping, engine turning, lights are on but no one is home.
So I googled “how to test k100 coils” and read some posts on here and it doesn’t look good. But I’m afraid I don’t have a functioning coil to compare against. and worst of all I’m not having any luck with the spark plug leads either.
If any one can shed some light and help me figure this out I feel I’m so close to getting the bike on the road!!!
FYI good second hand parts are hard to come by down here in New Zealand. So the odds are I’ll need to buy in from overseas. So really need to be sure before I “invest”.
Thanks in advance
