First the particulars. 1982 Honda 185s with cable operated compression release. I just re-installed my wiring harness and before I went any further I wanted to check for spark. I have spark but it sure isn't what I would call " snappy blue ". I tried two different plugs, both new. Same results. I then drug out two different ohm meters and checked the ignition coil. Right within spec. Next I checked the Pulser generator. Right on the money. I'm not really feeling good about this. Next the A.C. generator. The lighting coil is good but the exciter coil only measured 207 ohms. The book calls for 245 ohms. Oh my! I didn't poke around on the CDI cause I was afraid I'd zap something. I know just enough about this stuff to get me in big trouble. Can anybody venture an educated guess on my weak spark issue? All the grounds have been shined up. Thanks guys...........zeeker
