No spark
Checked magnetic coils per manual and where below resistance values. Replaced with used coils that were within specs but came from a Pacifica that had similar specs. No spark. Need to check if ecm is working or not, looking but one found shop in Australia that can test and sell you a replacement or repair yours if it fails.
Is it possible to convert coils and ecm to different models since ecm for this 86 is almost impossible to find??

Thanks

Is it a V or a VT?

If it's a VT engine there is a high probablility you could get away with using an ecu off a VT500, BROS650, BROS400, XLV750R, NTV600, NTV650, Africa twin etc. but although they may work after a little modification to the wiring looms they won't be perfect.

I think there is a variation in these bikes in that some used a dual pick up and some a single pick up so it will require some investigation but they are all pretty much the same engine.

IN: JH2PC2115JM0*****
Year: 1988
