Bike was just cutting out at idle when hot. Thought it was the coils. Brought it to my Guru. Starts with carbs, had fuel in the float (MKII) due to ethanol, right pet cock was dribbling, tube warping due to ethanol. Changed and test. Still stalling at idle. Guru says "bet its your ignition switch....its 40 years old. Changes it. Actually ran much better for much longer. Went 24 miles before it started hiccupping. Changed the coils. Mind you, may coils were fairly new. One year, 1000 miles on them, high quality German made as well as a new digital Pazon.
Sure as shyte, it was the coil. Explanation to me....bad ignition switch in combination with a hot Pazon killed the coils. The ignition switch had been worked on by the previous owner. Posts jumped and a resistor soldered in. Just venting. Hate parting with too much $$ in the elimination game, but seems it all needed to be done.
