Time to work backwards, wires, coil, trigger, CPS....... Again single or dual fire,?

One more thing, if your gonna own a Harley then I suggest you get a Factory Service Manual..........

I concur with 98...the FSM, and the guys on the EVO forum, will be your scooter's best friend.

The coil looks like pretty much a sealed unit, but water + electronics don't mix. I bow to experience.

How many electrical wires do you have going to your coil (Do not include plug wires)? if it's two, it's the dual fire system if there's three wires, it's a single fire system
