Coils are generally a sealed, water-tight component. As such, they are generally not a repairable item.Routine checks on a coil are not necessary.nstructions. Turn off the motorcycle ignition. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the coil by hand. Disconnect the two smaller primary wires from the coil using an open-ended wrench.
This can be the cause of some very mysterious engine problems. Older distributors with breaker points have another section in the bottom half of the distributor -- this section does the job of breaking the current to the coil. The ground side of the coil is connected to the breaker points. A cam in the center of the distributor pushes a lever connected to one of the points. Whenever the cam pushes the lever, it opens the points. This causes the coil to suddenly lose its ground, generating a high-voltage pulse.
