Hi,
Testing The Ignition System
The readings for your coils are not consistent with nominal parameters.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I dont know what to say about picture where meter leads are in the connenctor.
Manaul says 3 to 5 ohms for the primary of the coils, and you are showing 6.6.
I havent had any expereince with that to know if that is serious problem or not.
WHere you are showing 25K cap to cap, that is about what mine usally read, about 29 or 30K. Although the manaul says should be 35 to 40K (if I remember correctly).
Where you are showing reading 45K cap to cap, that is not too much over the range stated in the book, but is quite abit over what I have come to expect. Try taking off the cap (they twist-pull off) and measuring each cap seperatly. SHould be right at about 5K. THey do fail and go too high of a resistance and then go open. ANd only cost about 4-5 bucks each. CAn get NKG caps at about any mo'cycle shop. Actaully I think the caps fail more than any other part in the ignition system, in my limited experence.
Have you found the connector for the pickup ?
Would help if you had your bike model/year in your signature line.

sry guys. its a 1982 gs550 and i found theat the 2 smaller caps were bad so i replaced them all with caps off a 2007 shadow since they were free. when it showed the reading in the pics it would not arch and if it did only a few times. now i just went out 5 mins ago and it was arching so i tested both the primary and secondary and they were both right on at 5.0 and 25k. What is going on!
