    hello people  my 1981 fxs has a weak spark problem there is spark but its so shitty and hard to see on the back cylinder and not much better on the front cylinder i think my coil could be stuffed is there any way to get my coil tested?

    and would also like help with an ID on the ignition module there is what looks like a bulldog graphic on the top left and some hard to see lettering on the bottom left i can make out the letters ""S P Y" .......spyder?

    thankyou for any help

    i would just replace it with a crane H1-4 single set up , electrics after 4-7 years are a bit on the iffy side
