Quoted from sponjey:

Can someone give me troubleshooting pointers?

Other coils not working ? or just that one ?

Other coils - pull fuses and check with a meter.

Only one - check for broken wire at the coil lugs. Thick wires to the lugs or thin wires from the coil windings to the lugs.

Quoted from sponjey:

A bit of a panic here. Got some friends coming tomorrow to show off my DESW,

Worst case scenario tell them you just got it to look at and not actually play.

Quoted from sponjey:

I took a look under the hood, but have no idea what I'm looking for.

Get local help FAST.

Quoted from sponjey:

It’s just this coil. They look fine but not sure what I’m looking at.

See red circles - dig around those thin wires for a crack or break.

Purple wire orange stripe, yellow wire purple stripe - check continuity of each wire from coil to board in the head it goes to - you could have a break along the way.

Does that coil fire in test ?

Quoted from sponjey:

Is this a soldering job?

Yes. Strip the wire and tin it and solder back on.

Youtube has lots of short how to videos.
