Hi im looking for help with my l2. Im not able to get a spark but the starter motor spins the engine turns over and i have power goin to my coils. Any ideas? thanks

So with the spark plugs out and earthed to the frame (one by one) you dont get any spark of any of them?

Is the fuel pump doing it's thing?

Is fuel getting to the carbs?

Is there fuel in the tank and the tap is turned on?

No spark out of any of them when earthed to the frame. i didnt check if fuel was getting to the plug ised a spare plug and tried it in each holder. i have a tank of petrol hooked up and ive spayed easystart down the carbs

cdi or pickup coil problem?

i was thinking i could be the cdi. where would i find the pick up coil? and what does it look like

the pickup coil is on the RHS of the bike, behind a metal crankshaft cover partially hidden behind the coolant expansion bottle, it will have 2 wires coming from the underneath that connect the cdi to the pickup, if your pickup is dead your cdi wont be told to fire a spark, and if your cdi is dead it wont send current to the coils so no spark.

check for faulty connections first, then go about diagnosing faulty components.
