Carb float full of fuel

Hey here is the procedure for checking the resistance of the signal generator.  From the factory service manual:

There is a way to check the signal generator - by running the right one to the left coil, then you can see if the bad side changes, then you know if t is the signal generator. BTW I have also seen these fail when hot, and that too only when rpm's drop.
Cool.

Hey here is the procedure for checking the resistance of the signal generator.  From the factory service manual:

This looks like it's for the pre-2003 models. Mine's an '09, so it only has 2 wires going to a single signal (say that 5 times fast  ) generator. I tested the resistance, and it was reading infinity at the connector. So I took off the cover over the signal generator and tested it where the wires attach to the signal generator itself, which is when I got the 500,000 ohm reading...which is way way way out of range. I also checked to make sure there was continuity from one end of each wire to the other, and we're good there. My Haynes manual says to replace it based on my readings, so we'll see what happens when the new one arrives.

Apparently the part is shipping from Indy, rather than Tampa like I thought. Since it's so much closer I should have it in hand tomorrow or Saturday...which coincidentally is when my new carb float is scheduled to arrive as well. Hopefully I can get this all in my rear view by Tuesday when we're finally supposed to get a break in the rain!

Unfortunately with the '09 that's also not an option since there's only one.

Cool, hopefully the swap fixes it!

Update:

WOOOOOOOOOO!
She lives!

A big thanks to everyone for all the help! I put in the new carb float and new signal generator, and we're back up and running!
