ignition help 87 vmax 540

Post by 87vmainer »

i'm having problems with my ignition system. The sled will start and run for awhile then die. When i pull the plugs and check there is no spark. if i wait for awhile it will start agian after some time. I got a clymer service manaul for 84-89 but my sled is not in it. I need schematics and specs for resistance testing badly! any help is much apreciated! - Josh
New sleds are for skirts!
