Fellas,

Last night we tore out the old coil and installed a new one, mainly because we didn't know how long the existing one had been in there (2? 5? 10? years.) With the new coil installed we checked all the wire connections, grounds and for scraped housings. Let the bike warm up to operating temp and roped down the freeway, no issues. Bike runs great. Upon close examination, we found a half circle crack on the older coil that worked it's way from the side toward the center of the body. If that was the main cause, my guess is it would heat up and seperate, causing loss of spark. We tore into the coil more and found rust. Not sure how significant this is, but for now we're riding.

Thanks for all your help. If something else develops, I will post. I know how frustrating it is to research for a specific issue.

Boomer
