I have a 84 klt 200 with no spark.  It was running great, I rode it turned it off and a few days later...nothing.  I replaced the plug with a new one and I still get no spark.  The coil (Yellow and red wire) is supplying the coil with 12v continuously.  The black wire going into the coil has almost no voltage only when cranking the engine.  If i place a volt meeter on the yellow/red wire and connect it to the coil and crank the engine over i get about 3 volts going into the coil.  I am not sure how to trouble shoot to determine if the coil is the problem or the pulsing coil.  Anyone have any suggestions?

using an ohm meter place one lead into the spark plug cap, and the other on the wires coming out of the coil.

you should get between 13 and 15 ohms on both wires.
