    Blown Ignition Fuse

    I replaced my clutch today & enabled the servo in the Ignitech, OH MY GOODNESS!!! Man you are right when that servo opens it's night & day, it's soo dramatic. It has changed the entire character of the bike. Ok, Ok, I might be overly dramatic on purpose here but still, I need to get use to this...

    Agreed Thx I'll keep that in mind, FM. Yeah, last night going home I did a full throttle pull in 5th gear... I now know what a slipping clutch feels like, it also slips in 4th. Time for more upgrades.

    It's about time too lol. This bike is a HUGE hand full not only am I getting roughly three times the power, then my 400 HondaMatic, I'm also getting 3 more gears plus a clutch. Also with all the work I've put into this thing it has a lot more features to play with as well, mostly do to the...

    I'm fairly certain that I have taken care of the bigger bugs now, I mean I did put about 85 miles on the bike yesterday with no problems. I think this is... Was my issue. However, I'm still not sure if that jumper plate should be there. It looks factory but causes problems and non of the wire...

    Got the Ignitech TCI hooked up, wow this thing is tiny. Now I don't know why it won't start. This is the email I sent to Sean. I can't get the bike to start. I've noticed that the wires for the coils were in the wrong location so I change them around in the adapter harness. I tried starting...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    Yes, I have found why the fuse blows as stated b4 This is why I included cylinder 2 That's how I found the bad coil. The question at this point is What I found today is that the red/white wire seems to be connected to ground, however, this is not true. It is simply back feeding through the...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    Wow that is a wake up call, thank you. You're right I should have been using resistance from the beginning instead of continuity testing the harness, I've redone my tests. cylinder # 4 key off white - red/white = 1.2 ohm white - ground = .5 ohm white - batt+ = 31.36 k ohm red/white - ground =...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    I'm getting confused the more I work on this bike. So here is what I found - cylinder # 4 key off white - red/white = continuous white - ground = continuous white - batt+ = open red/white - ground = continuous red/white - batt+ = open key on white - red/white = open white - ground =...

    I don't understand what you mean here.

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    White wire coming from CDI to cylinder 4 is continuous to BOTH ground AND battery positive with the key off, that is not a good sign this is obvious to me. Mind you the white wire is not damaged in any way going to the CDI and my other test lead is connected directly to the batt in both tests...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    No guarantee that will fix the issue, I'm the type of person where I need to know why this is bad and why I need this part... In other words, I don't replace things untill I diagnose the actual problem. What ever the bike needs I'll do it, but I'm not giving up. The only thing I'm questioning...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    The white wire going to cylinder 4 is continuous to ground the other 3 are not. I stripped the tape all the way so that the white wire is completely exposed to the CDI it looks healthy.

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    Well I found the culprit, it's a coil. Yes one of the Crown Vic coils. However, the coil failed via an internal short. Now I thought, having worked on a fleet of Crown Vics for 4 years, that is an unusual failure. Oh well, put another coil in ride like 5 blocks down the road boom blown fuse put...

    Blown Ignition Fuse

    Ok after looking at a wiring diagram in the service manual, I'm not supposed to be able to crank the motor over with the key across the country (metaphorically speaking)!

    Interesting the bike doesn't need to be running to blow the Ignition fuse.

    91 Vmax Bought the bike about a month ago installed COPs using Crown Vic coils no resistor, then I replaced the pickup coil, shot gun cleaned the carbs. Now the Ignition fuse keeps blowing. I've noticed that this thing has an aftermarket fuel pump the wiring seems a little weird to me...
