    Ok so when i tested the coil, i put my multi in to Ohm’s, when i put the leads into the ends of each plug wire, i got a reading. when i put them into the plug wire and touched eother the ground or the one where power comes into the coil i got nothing. when i touched the power tab and ground tab i got a ready as well.

    i also hooked my meter up to the incoming ground and power from the CDI and i got somewhere in the neighbourhood of like 150volts while cranking. I know this isnt the correct way as you need a DVA i believe to test it properly but i wanted to see if i was even getting any power from my CDI to the coil.

    Still lost though as to the true issue.
