Default help.....

as the title states i need help with a no spark problem. ive gone through all the tests in my manual that i feel comfortable doing. switch is good,coil is good,battery good and fully charged,new plugs and wires ohmed out good. dont know how to check the ignition module .but per the manual i did have 5 volts going to cone. i did not have spark when jumping the two pins in connector.does that mean my module is bad? was running good when i shut it off last time. any ideas or reccomendations on a new module? bike is a 1988 fxrs sp.im stumped.

check your other post in the ECU section...

you have a can sensor behind the timing cover

its probably bad considering all your checks..

btw..
cross posting in multiple sections gets confusing for all of us brother
