Temperamental 3rd cylinder

[e-a-m-o-n]

Cheers guys, got a full set of needles ordered, will let you know if that makes a difference.

Fruitloops- I do have a vague memory of the HT lead copper being a bit green when i changed a boot a while ago, do you rekon that that oxidization could cause the intermittent cut out? And when do i connect the multimeter to the spark boot to check resistance? when the bikes running or just with the key on? havent done much elec-trickery on bikes..

off bike. set to range that covers your 5ohm. (x1, x10) measure between boot (plug end) and cap (CDI end)
unlikely that the oxide would beggar the connection.


pop quiz though: what do you ever check the resistance of in a live circuit?

wouldnt know mate. never checked a resistance.
