Before you yank, toss and replace the "bean can" -formally known as the Ignition Trigger Unit, you need to confirm the the Ignition Control Unit (ICU) is functioning. The ICU lives under the fuel tank and is that black slab thingy attached to the heat sink.
1. First remove the NEG battery cable. Then remove the engine front cover. Unplug the 3-wire connector between the ICU and ITU that's located under the front cover. Reconnect the NEG battery cable.
2. Straighten out a paper clip and stick one end into the center pin of the three wire connector coming from the ICU.
3. Remove one spark plug, reconnect the plug wire and secure the plug to the cylinder so that you have it grounded.
4. Turn on the ignition, touch the other end of the paper clip to any nearby ground and you should see a spark at the plug. If you get a spark, the ICU is good. Every time you ground the paper clip, you'll see a spark indicating the ICU is doing its job.
5. No spark? The problem is not likely to be the ITU/bean can.
6. Fix whatever problem is occurring "up stream" of the ITU, then deal with the trigger unit if necessary.
Easy test and all you lose is a perfectly good paper clip. Report back your findings.
