Pick up coil issue?

[DEEBS11]

These areas are very suspect. When the rubber outer cover of the wire is cold they can give a false continuity check because the material is condensed and holding the broken pieces together. When the rubber is warm from a hot engine, the now softer material can stretch slightly and separate the inner wire core especially with a vibrating motor and the twist of the advance unit.

Hi shopteach, It is a good preventative measure to isolate the neutral safety switch wire into its own loom. Also remove it from the Molex connector above. This mod helps when riding in wet weather or after washing misfires. Since you have the hard part done makes it an easy job.

I've had two cylinders become mostly dead after washing. I believe this was was the cause. Cleared up after a few days.

I think what is happening with the dropping of 2 cylinders in wet conditions is water gets splashed/directed in the area of the loom connector behind the fuse panel. A solution for this is to wrap the connector with electrical tape in such a way, so no water can enter there.

Makes sense, since the wires are insulated in the other locations.
