[QUOTE="MrUnlucky, post: 163116, member: 4550"] MORE FUN WITH ELECTRONICS So I went and ordered a resistor from an auto parts store. They couldn't tell me how many ohms it would be, so I just picked one. Turned out to be 1.6 ohms, which is better than nothing right? So I hooked it up in place of the old resistor and lo and behold...still 12.5v. Checking the line side of the resistor, it was getting 14.4v. The 1100 is supposed to be around 8-9v at the coils, right? I may just pick up a second resistor. But this morning my turn signals didn't work and my ignition was sluggish again so I decided to finally swap the wiring connections from the '83 wiring harness that was in it to the '82 wiring harness I'd bought (I'd been putting it off because I wanted to see about getting a proper plug put on my stator wires instead of wire-nutting it like it was). She started up with no problems this afternoon. A couple of the connections to the console and lights aren't matching up, but that can be easily overcome. Then I noticed that one of the components, a little black box stamped OKI electronics MPS-350 1003 was still hooked in to the old harness, but the bike was running fine. After close examination, there doesn't even seem to be a plug to connect this to the '82 harness. Then I remembered that this was an ignition control module, one of the parts I'd bought and swapped out, but even though it's not connected the bike is running fine. [/QUOTE]
