My number is 503-608-2699. I'm in Oregon. If anyone can call and help me use the multimeter and preform these tests it would be great. Thank you.

Post the Make and Model on the Meter, I'll Google it, and then tell you how to use it.
Also these are from my Factory Service Manual, although for a 1000, it is the same for yours.
You Tube has several Videos also on how to use a DVOM Meter.

Does anyone know if there are any links or videos on youtube that I can watch someone do it. I don't know wiring diagrams. I'm sorry. I don't want to be a pain in the a$$. I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't know electrical like I should if I am getting into something like this. I also need to figure out how to put the air box back on. I wanted to put 4 cone filters and a 4 to 1 exhaust on it. Then I found out there's more to it that bolting on these things. I didn't know you have to do carb work to keep up with it. That makes since to me tho. But when it comes to electrical, I am pretty much lost. I never used a multimeter before. That's why I'm having a hard time here. But please bear with me. I will get the hang of it sooner or later and know what I'm doing next time.

Post up what meter you have, and we can tell you how to use it. But watch the video I posted, or check out some of the others on how to use a meter.

Thank you Motor Head and Patton. I just got off the phone with rcook52459. I think if things went right, we narrowed it down to either my battery is too far gone to send 12v to the coils or the igniter is shot. I am going to get the GM parts and attempt to build the other type set up. Thank everybody for all their help.

Well, I got her to spudder today. After 2 days on the battery charger I got some spark out of her. It has boiled down to just needing anew battery. Where do I find out what battery I need. My girl friend works at an auto part store and can get me a battery. I just don't know what cca or ca I need for it.
