I've been converting my mc16 to race use, and part of that has been to fit the pgm2 off an mc18 along with the loom and clocks.

Now I've got to the stage where the bike is ready to run but am failing to get a spark at the plugs. I have so far connected:

Pickups
PGM
Battery
Coils
Earths to the engine and frame.
Clocks

I put a loop in the ignition switch terminal, to make the system live, which it seems to have done. I have a working neutral light and there is power in the system so I guess that terminal is the right one.

Now for the sparks, Looking at the wiring going to the old r/h switchgear, the switch is live when closed and cut when open. The wires in the switch are black and black/white. I have found the 4 pin connector in the loom that has the wiring to the kill switch, at least i think I have. Its the small red connector, with 4 pins, the black & black/white being for the kill switch and the other 2 wires for the brake light switch.

The wiring diagram for the mc18 on the japanese nsr site says that I should be looking for a white & white/yellow wire for the kill switch system but think thats wrong as none of it tallies up and the mc21 has the same colours I have.

Anyway..

If I bridge the black & black/white wires, I get a spark from the front cylinder coil, nothing from the rear. And nothing when I turn the engine over.

Also while the wires are bridged, the pgm is whining.

Any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong? I have hookes up the old mc16 system for the time being and the bike runs ok so its definetely not the battery/coils.

I have a feeling the pgm may be shot...
