Hi Alan,
That is rather a strange problem and probably why you've not had any replies. Does everything else electrical work

hi all, thanks for replies.
have found problem, pulse generator is playing up. a friend was testing with multimeter and everything checked out till he got to pulse generator, was giving strange readings so tested again. while testing for third time, the reading changed to the correct output. spark is back and bike is fine again but think i,m gonna have to change it to be safe. unfortunately its not a ten minute job by all accounts.
has anyone changed or had one changed?

thanks.
alan
