    1982 1100L Random power loss

    Had a Customer offer his bike for 500 bucks I met McFly at the site took about 30 Minutes had it running. And Asked Customer if he wanted to fix it or sell it. (Too small of a frame for me or George so I dont mind wrenching.

    Any way owner says bike will cut out randomly.
    1)checked strain relief at key switch no shorts there.

    2)checked headlight bucket found four of five wires melted slightly from the head light separated wires made sure there were no breaks in the wires and taped over ope wires.

    3) found that exhaust pipes were running much cooler on #s 2 & 3 I thought coils went 1&3 and 2&4 but reading other posts it is 1&4 and 2&3 is this true?

    4) Bike idles fine even took it for a spin. when owner rode it he said bike died dead put it in second poped the clutch and it started straight away.
    I rode it had no problem what so ever ran great never stalled spit or sputtered. when I got back temps on pipes 2 & 3 were the same 1 & 4 were 40*warmer. Turn signials stoped working.

    Q) what would cause 2&3 to run colder
    Q) what could cause sudden ignition failure
    Q) What could cause turn signial failure
    Q) What is wrong with me I could have bought this bike for a song and worked on it at home But instead I asked owner would he like to fix it or sell it. (Stupid,stupid,stupid)

    Plug leads 1&4 and 2&3 fire at the same time.
    A bad ignitor will cause this and low voltage at that coil......
