[QUOTE="ArcticMinibike, post: 172282, member: 10240"] I'm a little unclear exactly how I should jumper the HT Coil and perform the test. More detail please. Here's some background info on my wiring: - The wiring harness is brand new reproduction - I connected as many wires in the headlight junction area as possible, like color to like color, I've got a few unconnected spares for the turn signals - When I have the battery in, key on, transmission in neutral, I get the green light on the speedo (a small victory) - Points and condenser are new. hopefully I didn't overheat the condenser. - I spliced a new wire on to my HT coil, I think I did a decent job with a quality splice kit, but anyway to test continuity without piercing the old part of the wire? - I have a new stator rebuild kit from dratv but never installed it. It seemed to be missing a wire when compared to my original, but I'd have to check again. I left it in the box in case I didn't need it. I was disappointed in how cheap it looked and that it was T-Bolt branded. I have some T-Bolt parts on my KLX and they are sort of "meh" in the quality department. I have a spare HT coil, but I don't know if either one is good and the condition of the wire is probably as rough as well. I'd have to find it and take a look. I doubt HT coils go bad but is there a way to test? Speaking of wires in the headlight, and I'd have to look again, but it seemed there was one multi-port green and one single-port green coming from the harness. What's the single green one for? I think they are both solid green. At the time, I figured green was green. Maybe I'm imagining it. I better pop out the bulb and double check. I had concerns about the stator a few weeks ago when swapping out the condenser and got some unexpected continuity readings. Everyone said that was OK, but I had a feeling something was wrong. So... Step 1, jumper the HT - please provide detail on how I should do it and what I should expect to see [/QUOTE]
