Hey everyone,
I am still working on this 79 xs1100. After unplugging the vent hoses for the bowls and syncing the carbs, she ran great for about a mile. It started floading again. Black smoke was rolling from the exhaust. After reading many post and running several test, I found one of the coils showing good readings on the primarys but zero on the secondarys. I pulled the plug wires from the coils and tested the wires themselves. They where fine. (I should mention I installed new wires in the coils as the post on this site instructed.) After checking the wires, I checked the primary contacts right on the coil and still had zero, no reading. I assume this coil has lost connection to the secondarys. I have not seen a posting showing these kind of results when testing these coils. Has anyone else every experienced the primarys reading good but the secondary terminals at the coil reading zero?
