Default coil testing
Hello all, i've been having issues w/my '01 FLHT. Runn'n hot (300+ deg) w/ white plugs. Carb jetting (46 slow and 195 main w/ high flow K&N open element filter) and intake leaks not the issue, but electrical i'm not so good with. I had a crane ign mod. on it but just swapped back to stock in an attempt to solve my problem- no dice. I'm curious about other potential electrical causes for such a problem...any help any of you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks all

no, head temp near spark plug. And this was after a 9 p.m. 40 mi highway ride in northern Ohio (50~60 deg). I've had her a few years and she doesn't usually run that hot
