X2.CDI's must have a path to ground.

Be very careful when using ether around 2Ts.The ether will sometimes ignite in your crankcase and blow out the crank seals. :-X

Weird stuff abound... Sometimes the plug will spark when touching the frame or me. sometimes it wont. When it doesn't spark after heaps of kicks and I picked it up, it gave me one hell of a jolt like it was holding in all the charge of those kicks. it reminded me of a ten volt bull fence that I once touched. When it does spark, its incredibly weak, its barely visable and the shock you get is so minor it kinda feels nice...

I looked at the ignition coil and its terribly rusted on the exterior. After I scratched away at it for about 10 minutes it still was getting very weak spark. I remember seeing some rust on other inconspicuous places on the bike too that shouldn't really be there. So my guess is the bike got completely sunk at some stage and thats why he rebuilt the engine from the ground up. Anyway my point is if the coil is as rusted as it was on the outside whats it gonna look on the inside?

But I'm no expert so I'd like to know: If it sometimes sparks and sometimes doesn't even though its grounded, getting very weak spark when it does spark and sometimes giving a massive jolt, is the ignition coil to blame, or the spark plug wire? possibly both? I also checked the ICM and none of the prongs were dodgey. I checked all the wires along the connections too everything looks fine. Just an intermittent fault somewhere along the line.

Don't have one, and I'm looking at 100 minimum to buy one. No point really, I'd rather just take it to a mechanic. Before I do, any other way of testing?

I stand corrected. I just did a quick google search and the cheapest one was $125. Alright I'll pick one up tomorrow I guess and see what the spark plugs doing. Thanks

It may not help.Speaking as a mechanic,my $700 meter decided to commit electronical suicide today so it wouldn't have helped to bring it to me  :D  ><img src=" title="Angry" class="smiley">
Get the best you can afford.Accuracy is everything.

Managed to snag one for $15 bucks accurate to a .5%. Personal opinion? POS. But its expensive considering I'm only going to use it once.
now that I've got it, how do I use it? Its got a whole heap of symbols I recognize from last years physics but can't properly remember cos I was really caught up in the not paying attention thing.
Some advice would be great, thanks guys.

Ford, love the avatar :P

You can never have too many tools.There is nothing worse then not being able to do something because the correct tool is not available. ;D

Agreed, I never ever begrudge spending money on tools.

Yeah sure I get the immediate buyers' remorse and self loathing and hatred for spending money (cos I am an uber tightarse) but after a little while it goes away and dammit, I am happy with my shiny blingy tools :D

Do you want to help me out or just be a pain in the neck? Seriously if you're not here to offer advice, go away. It's pretty simple. I am actually doing year 12 at the moment so I don't have alot of time on my hands. And oh yeah... Theres that bit about me not knowing what I'm doing and would rather take the time to be certain than fry my whole ignition system.

You have no idea how many times I've seen a bolt that needs a big ass driver piece and gotten annoyed. Damn its frustrating :P
But I'm trying to keep the budget as low as possible. Hell if I had the money at my finger tips I'd go on a badass shopping spree and get a whole workshop setup. But its not a possiblity at the moment. Folks will retire in a few years and need to save money. I don't have a job. Needless to say budgets gotta keep bare minimum.

I would like to help but your so rude and unwilling to do even the slightest thing to help yourself. So hard to justify the time when someone just expects and demands. Please spare us the hard luck stories as anyone with a career and kids will tell you Yr12 is a friggin breeze.Life only gets harder and more complicated.  The bit in bold is a classic example of an unwilling attitude. Try some manners and humility

First of all: You don't even know my bloody name, so don't go thinking you know all about my personality and attitudes.

I am actually GENUINELY CONCERNED about frying my whole ignition system, I'm not just being lazy. I don't recall saying year 12 was hard, do you? All I said was I was doing it at the moment. I don't even do homework. My point in saying that was I'm never at home during the day, well rarely.

Manners? When I'm asking for some help, I am NEVER rude to people who give GENUINE advice. I almost always say thanks to those who do or end my inquiry with a premature thanks. You're the only one being a jerk.

As for Humility, interesting word considering you can't even use the word 'your' in the right context :P
 If thats an unwilling attitude, I don't suppose you'd have any issue with unplugging your computer, taking off the side panel, draining residual power and resetting your cmos? Or maybe you'd like to dissassemble your harddrive? Maybe put new thermal paste on your cpu? Reformat you're machine with a fresh copy of your operating system?

Once again: You don't even know my name, let alone know how much I love riding, how much I love bikes and my reasons for not wanting to get all the bits and pieces money can buy.
Please, if you're not going to help, just leave. Or personal message me with all your personal issues with me. Thank you
