Hi L A B

Yes they are the original coils and I have just done primerary wiring  test by removing the the minus connection on coil no2 then checking the other conection to earth and have achived 12v at each so the primeraries appear ok.
Yes if there is no other way to test the boyer then I would send it away

Hi L A B

It Was checked for a spark on the second and third occation and each time we did get a spark.

I have bypassed the kill switch (no longer operative)  and have re-soldered the fuse holder ,replaced all connections on the boyer unit and the coils
I have at the moment taken out the ignition switch as a matter of inspection test but I have yet to find a test proceedure which to carry out.

I have just joined this forum out of frustration having my 1978 T140v for 11 years I have usually managed to sort any problems
however, having been to the 50th bonnie celebration 21st to 23rd at Gaydon ,After the 23rd runout to Meriden approx 55 miles the bike just died on me on return to Gaydon    
again on the way home , and again on the following day .when running the alternator is charging from 13v to 19v (changed the zenner diode as I felt it was not controling current to the batterybut it made no differance)
I might add that a Boyer Brandsen is fitted and beceuse it runs that is ok it also ticks over OK once hot .
As I had a spare solid state rectifier I have changed that too, cleaned and remade all terminals  arround the battery/coils/boyer unit .
I have new plugs /caps/ht leads/battery being deliverd.

HELP
