Hi Dennis! Bob put new plug wires and plugs in it already. Now it cuts out and
dies intermittently. Then it starts up and goes again.

It's Saturday, I'm at home, manuals at work. However.. it has two
coils. Therefore if they aren't the same or almost the same, one (or both) must
be bad. (Sherlock again) Measure both and compare. or as Dennis G says, swap
and see what happens.
This bike has a problem ? Like what ? On old V's you can change the
plug wires. Always a good move. Originals are carbon core, replace with real
wire. The front one are kinda' long too. Plug caps are resistor type, check all
four (5~10Kohm@). Probabilities are: small failure rate of coils, more often
CDI, frequent grounds on old bikes. Renew grounds at coil mountings and
remember that it has two complete ignition systems. If one works, you have
parts to swap with the one that doesn't to troubleshoot it. Swap coils, swap
CDI, swap pulsers. I'm betting on plug wires after all these years. Only takes
a few minutes to diagnose a failure on one of those.

Hey fellas....Bob has an '83 V45 Magna. He wants to check the coil
but there's no Ohm specs in his book...anybody know the answer to this riddle?
Thanks! HotrodMamma.
