I am new here and thanks for having me. I have had this unit for six years and it has been great. I have put a lot of money into it and I know her pretty well. Her name is Rhonda (Red Honda). She has run all over the Colorado Elk hunting land and Texas. The last two years she has intermittently not started right up even after being run for an hour or so.

***I always have a new spark plug and super unleaded gas.
***She ran fine a month ago, but starting was difficult.
***The exciter coil reads 143 Ohms.
***I guess I don’t have an alternator sensor wire since it is a 1986.
***Do I have a CDI module? No yellow wires to the thing under the front left fender. Just the three-yellow-wire connector under the seat to the rectifier.
***Pulse generator reads 344 ohms.
***My meter isn’t great, but I think the ignition coil is OK at 0.2 Ohms.
***Secondary winding test through the spark plug cap is 9.4K Ohms.
***Secondary test with spark plug cap removed is "HIGH" at 9.35K ohms.
***Neutral switch shows continuity in neutral and infinity in gear.
I am thinking my problem centers around the two wires going to the coil. Even though my battery shows 12-13 volts, when I turn over the starter the two wires only put out 7-10 volts. I think this voltage drop is also hampering my new fuel pumps operation. Other than that Rhonda is a tank, like ya’ll say. Any help would be just great! I will be sure to give everybody follow-up info on what the cure is.
