Anyone know if there any significant differences between coils on the '86 CB700SC's and the earlier '84 & '85 models? I ask because I'm browsing EBay for a coil and I see a couple of cheap single coils offered for $20 or so with shipping. or, I can pay $65 + shipping to get a pair off an '86 bike. Dennis G.

It's very simple, you're trading components to determine which one is at fault. The pins come out of the plastic connectors by inserting a small screwdriver in and moving the tang out of the way. I use a tool made for leather working. Study the plastic connectors first and make notes of where the wires belong for later. Your problem should move to the 2-3 set at some point. That's when you find the bad part. --- On Sat, 6/6/09, Dennis <[email protected]> wrote: From: Dennis <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: My CB700SC and the CDI unit To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009, 1:27 AM Beautiful.

Now you really should. Go to 22-1 and you'll see that the 1-4 pair at the coil is the bl/w and Y. The 2-3 set is bl/w and Bu. Switching those pairs and still having the 1-4 set out would indicate the coil is bad. If the 2-3 set went out, move back to the CDI. Now you switch the yellow and white pair with the blue and white pair. That switches the pulser coils at the CDI. If the 1-4 pair is still out, it's the CDI. If it swaps and the 2-3 set is out, it's the one pulse coil that's bad. Yes, by all means, check for continuity at all wires. A similar failed part ? possible. Use your VOM to eliminate confusion and check all point to point wiring and grounds. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
