So here's the situation. I inherited a horrible wiring job on my 1980 xs SG, which ended up frying my coil. I bought a new coil thinking the coil just failed, when it cooked as well (so bad the plastic bubbled on the orange wire terminal). I bought a new wiring harness from mike's and a new coil, but I am still not getting any spark.
I am wondering if my crappy wiring job (that I inherited) fried the CDI unit as well. The orange terminal is supplied by the CDI unit. I am getting 12V at both terminals, is it possible for a CDI unit to produce volts but still be bad? I am in serious need of help.
