Stupid Stupid Stupid Spark

That's a bummer about your post. Yup, computers are stupid too.

You said" The electronic ignition has an anti-theft feature. A certain specific resistance must be present IN the ignition switch or it will not work."

Are you referring to the on/off switch? Because he didn't go at that, he took the bottom of the ignition assembly, buch of wires, key goes in top, bolts on with two bolts from the bottom. And he tried to push wires together there. There was a sping assembly inside that was lost, the two bolts, and unknown other bits and pieces. My McGyvver job makes it all work but the steering wheel lock. Not that I'm brilliant, just smooshed those two plastic, triangle, panel things together. (Gotta love the technical terms) I would include a picture but haven't been able to find any pic of the inside of the ignition.

Did already try the plug. Actually, just on the off chance, tried two. No luck. There is not any current going from the coil to the plug wire although there is current going in the coil, just not quite 12 volts. However the current is enought to turn the starter over.

The problem with a Zuki shop is that nobody has a clue about these bikes in Canada, (no offence to canadian members) from what I was told by several different shops, it was only manufactured in the States, I have to order all parts from the States, and even the Marauder (I think that's its slightly better known companion) isn't common here. The shops will charge me to look at it, but I am worried that electrical might start to run up the hours too much.

That said it seems to be my only option.
