No light on 1 set of points

[domwing]

Hi I've recently been bringing back to life a 75 gl1000. When I hook up the test light and turn motor by hand the bottom set of points lights but when doing the top set I get no light.Any suggestions on where to look before I pull my hair out .thanx in advance.Hutch

Do the points physically open and close?

[domwing]

Yes AL they do open and close I only get the test light lit on the poit's on the left side .checked the wires coming from unit and all are good. I'm wondering if I shook a wire loose at the coils.thanx hutch

[domwing]

Well all connections are fine and tight. No spark on 3 and 4 plugs ,good spark on 1 and 2. Still no light up on the right side points which are opening when turning over .bad coIL ?

I had to change to a jockey style shifter since I had a stroke no can shift with left foot

My next step would be to look for voltage at the points and start tracing back. Could still be a loose or broken wire.

Thanx AL I found that the points in question were not making a good ground. This site has helped me out with alot of questions that sombody already asked. Thanx again AL she's purring again after 10 yr project

Am I correct for presuming You have good enough function in your left hand and arm to easily operate the shifter handle/clutch lever?
