I was given a very clean VL500 that has no spark. Compression is good so probably worth fixing. S/n is 0053933 so this is the new electronic ignition. Coil was very oily and dirty in area of Flywheel Gap so I thought I found the smoking gun,--no dice after I degreased, sanded and reinstalled with .012inch gap. Kill switch functions properly per multimeter. I can't get the Flywheel Nut off to check if debris on the "chip" is a problem. Next I would suspect the Coil is bad. What Ohm readings should I get on the Coil? Thanks for any help...I don't want to throw parts (if i can even find them) and dollars at this aimlessly...
