Low voltage at coil on 1983 DR 250

test battery -is it holding 12.6v charge-if not then its over 3 yrs old or the alternator is bad--also inspect inside distributer cap and plug wires--they get corroded and need replacin

should be battery voltage 12v

Try another plug .......or it could be the coil. Hope this helps.

check your coil pack that is is getting decent voltage from the battery, check the battery to.

I have a 83 DR 250 and i'm not getting enough voltage to create a spark, all I can suggest is that you check your battery and make sure its at full flavour. Check and see if you are getting any voltage prior to the ignition coil (should be 18-35v). If you suspect battery then try clutching it as the alternator moving faster might give you enough to get her going. Also check all your connections and earths. Earth wires are often overlooked and can cause you just as many problems as the actives. So give that a go and get back to me mate. Cheers

your carb got stuck and it sounds like your rings are burnt out like u were running to high of an octane or something in your gas
