Lame voltage from ig. coils

#1 Unread post by Fargo360 »

So I'm on a downside of the rollercoaster that is my bike. Was having some running issues and am still having the wicked fouling on the plugs. (a pair of new plugs when from new to fouled in 2 miles) I checked the voltage on the plugwires when the bike wasn't running and only got 10.80-10.85v (left-right). The battery was right off the charger and was registering 12.15v. Now, I'm no rocket scientist, but I would imagine that I should be picking up at least 12v on the plug wires.

So, what'da'ya'll think? Lame coils? Bad connection somewhere?
