Start with changing the bottom coil for the top.
That makes no change.
Then switch CD's.
Take pics cause there is no easy way to figure the mess out!!.
Write down the color codes,no easy way to figure out the mess!!
Compression test?

Thanks for the reply.ive unpluged the coils from the cds and switched them..the spark problem went to what ever coil i pluged into the cdi that had only one coil.so the the second cdi i assume was bad..ive put a used cdi on and still no spark..ive got the wireing diagram and it appears im wired right..............could the triger be bad but still alow the first cdi to frier and not the second?????or should i go over this guys spliceing job and put a new cd on thanks
