89 XT600 3EW spark issues / backfiring
I've owned my XT600 for a while now and i've slowly been working my through its various issues, the one problem i have is backfiring / running hot and i'm hoping someone on here can help.
I've tested the stator coil, pulse coil, ignition coil, plug cap and plug - theyre all within tolerance.
I could be way off the mark here but when i kick the bike over with the plug resting against the block, the plug sparks continuously instead of one big fat spark at TDC.
Are there any other XT owners who could verify whether this is normal before i spend 2 arms and 3 legs on a new cdi?
I've made a youtube clip to demonstrate
