Motorcycle Repair: 2 cylinders, goldwing, fires


Question
i have an 84 goldwing,only running on 2 cylinders. there's power to the coil,but nothing coming out? could you help me out?

Answer
Take the blue or yellow wire (which ever coil is not working)and ground it by hand and see if the coil fires.  If not, you may just need to replace the coil.  If it does spark, you need to check the points to see why they are not grounding the coil.  It could be dirty points, or the wire at the points may be permanently grounded to the point plate or mount.
