I am firing up my 84 GL1200 from its winter rest and the right side has no spark. Pipes are ice cold and plugs are wet. I started to pull it apart to check coils etc and I got rained out.
The strange part was while it was running I pulled the left rear boot (not sure why I did it but) just as the boot is at the tip of the plug, I hear arching and the RPMs run up.
Slide the boot further down towards seated and it slows or stalls and if I pull it further off the plug it also slows are stalls. Doesn't seem to be the wires themselves as moving them makes no difference. I am assuming not a weak coil either but I am lost on what could cause this.
If I could leave the cap laying there at the spot I could ride it
but that is not practical.
Any thoughts?
