Default chargin problems

Question...I ride a '66 duoglide that I converted over to a 12 volt and mallory electronic ignition. I've been having charging problems and thinking my generator has gone bad. The other day while riding with a new battery it went dead and a person was helping me jump it so I could get back home. In the process tha cables got crossed on my bike...postive to the ground and so forth. My question is could that have ruined my coil and eletronic ignition ?

It's a possibility. You'll have to test them with an ohmmeter.
