Can a coil slowly die out? I seem to have one that works sometimes and not others. I have plenty of voltage infront of the coil coming out of the bix to the coil. But I have 2 separate coils that seem not to want to work. How do I test the coil itself?

I have no spark from either with any consistancy so I am assuming this is my idling problem as well as my starting issue.

AHH I cant wait till this sled is gone!

Coils are cheap, replace them both.

Make sure your switches aren't causing the problem intermittantly.

If I'm not home, CHECK THE TRAILS!

Also check your grounds.

Where would I check the grounds? I have power in the line from the CDI to the coil but no consistancy through the coil.

I have power every time to the line through the CDI which would lead me to believe that its just bad coils? Maybe im slow lol.

I was running the 440 coil on the 500 CDI box I would assume that would ultimately fry it correct?
