Thanks for adding a real world experience. If I had a nickel for every time I've heard someone say "I just replaced the whatever with a new one, so it can't be that causing the problem", I'd be a rich man. Yes, things can be defective straight from the factory.

Gonna try on my quad that went down a week ago or so. Had spark after replacing the ignition switch. After which I simply removed and cleaned my batt. cables and terminals, placed em back on, and did not have spark anymore. A bit worried about throwing loads of money at a diagnosis, so purchased a multi meter today. No experience using one but there are luckily some informative vids on here. Thanks man !

Hey don't go throwing away your coil just yet, it could also be a bad HT wire connection with the plug, or the lead with the coil or just a bad wire. You can test this by disconnecting the HT wire and retest where the wire connects to the coil instead of the plug end (or just by pulling around a bit checking for loose connections).

I checked all the electrical amd the only thing out of spec was the secondary coil but it was reading too high at 11.6 and spec said the highest it should be is 8.6 Does this mean my coil is bad? It does have spark when i used a spark tester. my compression was good at 110. My carb is acting funny and dribbles out fuel. I have chem soaked it and ordered a rebuild kit. It wouldnt even turn over when I sprayed starter fluid in the carb. Im kinda stuck. Any advice would help!
