no juice to the spark plugs

[R65LS]

Forging ahead, I just-now ordered the Dyna "brown" from Motorad, we'll see if that fixes the problem.

In the meantime I'll remove the old coil for visual inspection.

Cheers,

Carl

p.s.  Monte, that alternator rotor is still working just fine !!  Thanks !!

UPDATE FOR THURSDAY AUGUST 28, 2014

Received the DYNA coil.  Hooked it up, still no juice to the spark plugs when cranking the engine with the starter.
    And same as before:  I turn the ignition key "on" and flick the right-side handlebar "safety thumb switch" from ON to OFF ...... I get a spark across each spark plug.

SO, I'm thinking the original coil is A-OK and the problem lies elsewhere.

Next Step:  the bean can.  I've re-read everything above, and will find one of those Hall Sensors.
   And this is all that's needed, just this piece and I can install it myself ??
    


Otherwise, any further suggestions/advice/assistance ??

Cheers,

Carl

Everything you need to know

The job is not difficult but you must disassemble carefully - I'd recommend taking photos at every step of the way.

Were you closer to me I'd send you a loaner bean can (perfectly OK, but one "lug" broken off where the retaining bolts go through) and get you to send me yours to fit a Siemens hall effect device to it.

But, I am obviously too far away. I am certain however that others in this group have done the repair, perhaps one of them can help you out.
