Hi guys! I’ve been trying to fire up my 1999 magnum for the past month or so. Unfortunately, I haven’t used the bike much in the past 2-3 years.

Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:
-battery was dead, so I bought a new one
-got new gas for the ride
-made sure the cup was on, the bike on neutral etc…
-changed the spark plug
-Still had no spark, so I changed the ignition coil

I now have a spark only when using my recoil, not my electric starter.

I saw on the forum that the problem could be the trigger (pulse) coil. I checked the resistance (red-white, white) and got 101 ohms. The book says it has to be 97.
I bought the new part but am reluctant to swap it.
I have no spark with the electric starter, but I still can’t start the bike with my recoil. Everytime I give it a good tug, it jams and makes me go bazongas!

So being the chicken that I am, I need convincing to go ahead with the next steps !!!
