I have no spark to my plugs so I'm gonna get a new coil first before I try other things unless you suggest a cheaper option to try first my issue is I don't know if I need a dual or single fire coil what are the pros and cons to them input please

 

A little info on the bike might be helpful.

 

Sorry lol didn't think about that it's a 95 softail custom

 

Bump.

 

The number of leads on the coil will tell you if you have single or dual fire. How did you determine there was no spark at the plug?

 

I took the wire off the plug and put a screwdriver in it put it to bare metal and there was no spark... I'll try to get a pic of the coil to see what kind I have new at all this I don't know what you mean by leads

 

the smaller wires that go to the coil ( not the thick ones that go to the plugs) if there are two then dual fire, three is single fire. Do you have access to a multimeter?

 

I have a dual fire there are two smaller wires and I will get a multimeter when I get one what do I need to look for

 

you will ohm out the coil, but before that do some voltage checks, one of those leads should have 12VDC on it when the ignition is "on".

 

Ok I will do that tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes thanks
