Hi

Depends on the bike. Which one is it?

2nd hand they should be fairly cheap on Ebay.

Good chance that only one coil has gone.

All the best

Keith

For coils go to your sparkplug cap and trace the HT lead upwards.
FWIW usually located under the tank, but on smaller bikes maybe the seat area.

Second hand coils from breaker, depending on the bike obviously, I'd expect to be between £10 and £20. Worth checking if connectors for HT leads will be compatible with what you're using.

Don't take this the wrong way but maybe sign up for a basic maintenance course or get some bedtime reading like these:

HTH Thumbs Up

Hi

Coils as above.

The pick ups probably are on the side of the engine around the crankshaft. Might be under a crankshaft end cover. There will probably be long wires from these up the to cdi unit.

Which bike is it?

All the best
