Hi All,
I need assistance from an experienced Ducati owner who has gone through the same or might have a better insight of my situation. I've tried searching forums but their situation was either different or a different model. I'll try to be as detailed as possible with symptoms and what I have done thus far. Thank you in advance.
I recently bought a Monster that sat for a while and after cleaning the carburetor I got it up and running along with fork seals, tires, oil/filter change, cam belts and spark plugs. While going through a tune up I noticed that the front (horizontal Cylinder) is not getting warm at all. I pulled the plug to check if I was getting a spark and there was non. Here's a list of what I have done so far:
1. Check compression 145 & 140 PSI on both cylinders.
2. Swapped the plugs, plug wires, Ignition Coil and Ignition control unit to see if it would transfer the spark
from the vertical cylinder and it still did not transfer.
3. Swapped the plug wire with the spark to the one w/o the spark but still did not fire.
4. Tried moving wires to see if there was a lose connection.
Trying to locate the "pick up" but don't have any clue where it is located on this model.
Thank you.
