[QUOTE="skiri251, post: 212535, member: 511"] Okay, so here's a thread for my aftermarket ignition problem. I guess it's better than hijacking totally unrelated thread. Here's the chronology. 1. My Oldwing was left in a garage for a few months. 2. I turned the ignition ON, Fuel pump worked. Neutral light ON. 3. Pushed the starter button and one click sound then nothing (no neutral light.) 4. Disconnect and load tested the battery (6 year old). 0V under load. 5. Put the new battery in. Engine turned over fine but no sign of fuel igniting. 6. Removed the spark plugs and confirmed no spark. 7. I have relays for ignition and headlight, so I swapped them. 8. Still no spark. Today I finally got enough motivation to test it further. I bypassed everything and connected a jumper cable from battery + terminal to the red wire which goes to the coil and the ignition module. I also cut the ring terminal of the ground wire coming from the ignition module and connected it to battery - terminal with alligator clips. (Just in case the connection went bad when I replaced the battery even though it is soldered.) There already is this ground wire coming directly from the ignition module as described above. Replacing it or adding a new wire will require engine removal. And... still no spark. So unless something mechanical went bad (like sensor disc came loose) coinciding the battery gone dead, I have to conclude it's ignition module itself. Is there anything else I can do before removing the engine? [/QUOTE]
