Working on a recently acquired 92 SL650 and having some spark issues. Currently running on 2 cylinders.
Problem is when I check the plugs for spark (hold against block) I don't see any spark. I have been checking plugs this way for years and am a bit confused by what is/is not happening. When I have the plugs in the unit it runs albeit on the 2 cylinders.... I can check them by removing the plug wire while tied to the dock but would prefer a static check method...
Is there something weird and wonderful about checking these plugs?
I was discussing this issue with a friend and told him I was going to check the coil spark by holding the spark plug lead near the block. He told me that he would not do this as it can burn out the CDI - anyone have any comments on this.
Note my experience is with motorcycles and not watercraft so I am open to any suggestions and constructive criticism.
