firing on one cylinder


Recommended Posts

Posted

have 1996 vn 1500 twin firing up on just front cylinder.

plugs sparking, have been swapped around no difference, and wet when removed.

new plug leads and caps fitted.

there is compression on rear cylinder.

any ideas ??

does it have seperate coils? if so swap them round see if its the coil, if it stays on same cylinder then it is before the coil..


if its firing on both plugs when tested out of the engine the coils are working....

What about new plugs, they can fail as well,,,,

Might show a spark on test out of the engine,, but fail when fitted & under compression,,,,
