Re: '88 Paso 750 starts on one cylinder only. Spark good.

OK G. I got it. On the coil mod it doesn't make an difference where the sparker wires go, just take the one from the kill switch and connect to the relay. In my case 2 sparker wires go to one terminal on the back coil (the or/blk goes from a sparker to the rear terminal on the back coil) then a wire...

Re: '88 Paso 750 starts on one cylinder only. Spark good.

Thanks G. From what i see you are recommending the coil relay mod over the power relay mod. You are right, it seems much simpler. However I have a single orange wire going to the front coil and then another orange wire going from that same post connection to the rear coil. The rear coil already has ...

Re: '88 Paso 750 starts on one cylinder only. Spark good.

OK after the reply from G. I tested voltage. This is what I got. With the ign off, I read no voltage to either coil on the double orange wire connection. With the ign on, I read 9.6 to both coils With the ign on and starter going, I read approx 7.5 to both coils. The resistance across the poles read...

Addendum to first post:

I live in the Portland, OR area. If anyone has some ideas and would like to stop by and offer an opinion on my amazing 375cc Paso, drop me a PM. I keep a supply of good wine on hand for visiting Ducati mechanics.

'88 Paso 750 starts on one cylinder only. Spark good.

I have a 1988 Paso 750 that was a non-runner. I am attempting to resurrect it from the desert where is sat outside with a tarp cover. After a few months work and recovery I got the bike to run. However, I found it only starts on one cylinder (vert). The horizontal does not fire. The spark is the fir...
