Long story short my little Chinese bike got progressively harder and harder to start.

The resistance of the exciter/source coil should have been about 250-400 ohms I'm not 100% sure what cause I dont have the bike specific workshop manual. The one on the bike reda 11 kilo ohms  :eek:

You can see that it has started to burn/overheat. The bike was used by a buddy and I think he road it to hard for extended periods of time.
