GS 450 spark help

[Guest]

So last night I installed two new coils, plugs and wires on an 80 gs 450, I gave it a little starting fluid boom started right up road it around the yard and felt pretty proud of my self, I then cleaned up put the bike away and called it a day because it was getting dark. This morning go out expecting to start where I left off but to know avail bike wold crank but couldn't get it to spark and the right side coil gets crazy hot and the left side does not. Any help would be greatly welcomed.




Thanks in advance Daniel

These new coils that you put on..... Did you check their primary and secondary resistance? And why did you fel that you needed new coils?
one coil getting hot is sorta normal with ignition on but no start due to ignitor box design. Go here do some reading and have someone hide the starting fluid from you..

replaced the coils because the coils and wires were all one piece and the wires were in pretty bad shape.
