nisly Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I've been trying to get my old bike running, but I'm not getting spark on the left cylinder. Its getting a nice spark on the right cylinder, but the left cylinder just sparks once when you hit the start button and once when you let off. I tried replacing the coil, but the new one acted the same. I checked the wiring connections and everything looked ok. Could this be in the ignition control box or is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. does sound like the TCI. have you checked earthing/HT wires could be a loose wire from the trigger point
nisly Posted September 3, 2010 Author Posted September 3, 2010 Suppose I do have some loose wires at the trigger, where would I find this to check it. I have tried downloading the XS manual but haven't had any luck. Thanks for your help.
Moderator drewpy Posted September 3, 2010 Moderator Posted September 3, 2010 just run a continuity test between the parts using a multimeter.
