Re: how to check diodes Does it shock the ever living shit out of you? Then you know your coil is out. Trust me.

Re: how to check diodes the diodes are there to protect feedback from one coil to the other. you dont need them to run. you can just unplug the terminal ground wiring harness and if it runs then its not the diodes. just be ready to choke the engine or smother the carb.
