electrical probs/93 GS100

[Deleted Member MS]

Flying along quite merrily today when everything went pretty dead.
Pulled over.Quick inspection suggests I have ignition, all lights ok etc, etc, but no spark(on either side).Checked all wiring behind front cover, and under tank, but everything looks fine.
What do I look for next and how do i do required checks,(before I start shelling silly money out).

Cheers all,
Martin

Kill switch 'on' ?

Just a case of checking wiring around coil would be a good starter

My 80g/s did it last Sat Morning.
1 S/H K100 coil later a'la Steptoes tip, and my little lady is running sweet as a nut
Apparently Coils feck up quite suddenly, just like mine did and yours seemingly.
I was all ready to buy a new bean can at mega money, till I asked Steptoes advice.
BUGGER I must buy him a Beer or two @ Hogroast

Before you pull anything apart just take a plug out and rest it on the head with the ht lead attached. Turn on the ignition and then flick the kill switch on and off. You should get a spark regardless of the condition of the trigger unit and the bean can. If you are getting a spark then the coils going to be ok (ish) and you can look elsewhere.
