Recently got into working on an 87 Enticer TR with electric start. Previous owner said it would repeatedly fry the source (charging) coils and ignition coils.

I found that both coils were bad. Now I have some figuring to do. I suspect that there is a grounding issue somewhere. So I will basically rebuild the whole electrical system. Parts of it had already been bastardized by previous fix attempts.

Could a bad CDI take out the coils, or would it typically just not work? How would I determine if another stator coil were grounding or otherwise verify that the stator harness is all ok?

As part of the rebuild I will be testing every cable and connection, but would definitely appreciate any hints on what to look for.
 

has anyone re grounded the base plate to the chassis? common problem on the older et chassis when they get up there in years.
