Took my refreshed 85 K100 out for a maiden voyage. All was super for twenty five miles, then crap.
The bike started running rough. As long as I stayed in low rpm it did ok. But put it under load and it appeared to be running on half the cylinders.
Limped home. It would start back up, but run poorly.
I let it sit for a few hours. Started fine, ran fine for a couple of miles and then crap.
I'm thinking bad coils (original black ones). Does this seem like a logical conclusion?
If the coils misbehave when hot, will a check of the ohms while cold reveal a problem?
