Help-Electronic Ignition-No SparkHelp-Electronic Ignition-No SparkI have a Probe Engineering Electronic Ignition System in my CL77 Project. It was in when the bike when purchased. It ran for a few minutes after I got it home after I got the carb leaks slowed to a small river. When it ran, it misfired and idled high. Now I have no spark at all. I have traced all of wiring thanks to thread on the EI system that is no longer available on this site. It is wired correctly, switch is working , power going to both coils, but no spark at all when kicked. I have Boyer systems in both of my old Triumphs and they have been bullet proof. I think the box has shorted, but that is just a guess. I have a parts bike that has the points, condenser, and wiring so unless someone can suggest another alternative, I guess I will convert it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys.

UpdateJust an update. I have sent the EI system back to Mark at Probe for a diagnostic check. Nice guy, responded immediately to my email with a number of suggestions as to what the problem could be. While the system is out I installed the old points system from the parts bike, and guess what, fire. I cranked her over and she ran at about half throttle and would not back down, so I guess the carbs need some attention. I have them soaking and will install kits in the am to see if that is the problem. Sounded pretty good even at high idle and I hoping to have a short ride before long to check transmission and clutch. There is no better feeling in the world than bringing one back from the dead.
EI System UpdateMark is one nice guy. System is repaired and on its way back to Virginia. Not many around that still give that kind of customer satisfaction anymore.
