Ignition system CB750 K3
« on: April 10, 2024, 12:18:05 PM »
Is there any way to connect just to connect the ignition system to check if the motor is ok? I have bought new coils. leads and caps. I have purchased a new wiring loom and regulator/rectifier but at this point just want to see if it will fire up. New spark plugs were fitted and the oil and filter changed.
Will need help with the rest of the electrics and still searching for someone in the northwest of England to help me.
Thanks, Don

Yes to ad hoc firing.

The coils, two leads ordinarily yellow & blue are down to points to give switching and timing, all left as normal.

The other two wires to coil are the supply of positive voltage to power the whole system.  Just give them the 12v supply and it'll be live.

Make sure you can easily disconnect (crocodile clip ?) In case you need quick shutdown  :)
