Ed,

I had a bad ignition coil on the left side. If you think your problem might be a bad ignition coil, try moving the right coil to the left side and the left coil to the right side. If the coil is bad your right side should now show the symptoms.

You will need to remove the tank to access the coils. Get some dielectric grease and coat the electrical contact points with it. I have yet to figure out how to take an ohm reading on the coils. Tried to see different meter readings between the bad coil and the good coil. Nadda.

Can anyone (in simple terms) explain how to check the ignition coils with an ohm meter? I checked my ignition coil the old fashioned way, I swapped it out with a new one. Of course that was a $129.00 gamble. And of course I swapped the new coil with the right side first...
