I've replaced the spark plug wire, took apart the switch and cleaned it all- test light shows power where it needs to be. Good power to the coil... Nothing from the coil. Only universal coils are available now for this model though... So are there recommended ones over others? I have a emgo unit on there now.

Thanks

If your out for a ride, and the points either close, or open up, a business card thickness is close enough thickness to be able to get you home.
