is there anything that can burn up a klr. I Know one is could be bad due to water damage.

Make sure whoever is testing your KLR does not have the Vitesse Wasted Spark system. It will not be a 100% valid test.

amschnellsten

what does your wasted spark system do?

fast951

It eliminates the coil/distributor/rotor, allows you to use a coil-pack or coil-over-plug for a hotter spark.
As a side benefit, if the DME has a bad final ignition driver, the WS still works.
Be aware, that the WS will not solve the problem you have.

Strange that two different KLR didn't work. Did you check all the power and ground connections to the KLR? If the KLR wasn't powered correctly, the output from the KLR that go to the DME for timing could be floating and that could cause the input to the DME to start oscillating causing the continuous spark generation.

I will check the power and grounds again. does anyone want to try out a klr in their car.

I checked my grounds and power yesterday going to the klr pin 12, 11, 10 did not have ground. I checked them with the klr unplugged. do I have to check them with the klr plugged in? Or is this the problem that I am having. Does anyone know where these ground points are in the car. Pin 14 is getting a good ground. help this is so dam frustrating.

Sorry, I am out at Mid Ohio this weekend. Somebody should be able to look this up in the manual.
