    Any way faulty coilpacks can slowly mess up a battery? Was reading up about bad coilpacks and saw that smoke coming out the exhaust is an effect, when i run on 3 or 4 cylinders I do get smoke coming out ththe exhaust but not alot, and its blackish smoke too.

      Looming up the error code on the charger says I have a possible short in the battery, gonna bring to oriellys either way, if the R/R and stator have been working as accordingly, what's to check for causing this?

        BIG UPDATE

        Theres a guy working on our backporch and we got to talking first about fishing, and then motorcycles and he has his fair share of old cool bikes, 2 triumphs, an ironhead, a knucklehead engine, and I believe a Norton 750. I was telling.him how I was having issues with my electrical stuff and explained what's happening, and he said pull out a multimeter and he got to work, super lucky for this guy to give out a hand and it only took him about 15 or 20 minutes to troubleshoot most of the bike, he checked for continuity throughout the bike and everything was clear, and then he got to the ignitor and said he couldn't do anything without a test light there, but this helped A BUNCH. So now it's down to testing the ignitor and the wires that run to it. The blue and green specifically.
