So, I have a project Kat (who here doesn't?)
I know my wiring harness is a little ugly, but it seems like the 'core' of it is alright.
I've figured out enough to get it to crank over (yay, good starter solenoid relay thingum!) but it's got no spark.
Voltage at the coil with just the ignition switch is a fairly healthy seeming 12.3-12.5v but drops to ~5v when cranking, so that's no good.
I know I've just hooked up to my other motorcycle for testing (no battery in the kat) so that's part of it, but are there any tricks to having extra grounds or what-have-you for better voltage on these bikes?
I have seen the coil relay mod, but in my case the volt drop seems a little extreme so I suspect other issues.
