The new trigger coil arrived Friday and I installed it that evening. At first it did produce a spark and would run a bit with some starting fluid, but then I decided that since it had been sitting a while and I had a carb rebuild kit handy, I'd go ahead and use it. So after cleaning it and installing the new part, I put the carb back on and tried nudging it back to life with another shot of starting fluid.
Now it isn't sparking again. What's odd is that the sator is now showing around 60Vac instead of 80. Only about .1/.2Vac is arriving at the ignition coil.
I took the stator and magneto from another bike, put them on the bike I'm trying to fix and got the same results from the VM. This was with the trigger coil that was on the donor bike.
So right now I'm out of ideas. The new trigger coil did produce a spark, the bike tried to start then suddenly, all on it's own, it's back to not sparking.
