What’s the difference between a Shovelhead and a V-twin?

How can I tell if my SHOVELHEAD is bad?
Using a meter, put the positive lead to the positive (power) lead on the coil. Then place the negative test lead on the wire you removed from the coil. Now turn the bike over and watch for the meter to pulse from 0 to 12 volts. If it does not pulse, your ignition is bad, bad points, bad condensor etc…
How does a no spark Shovelhead work?
Depending on the type of ignition (points or aftermarket electronic), the ignition grounds out the wire that goes to the coil. Then when it is time to fire the coil, it removes the ground (points open) and the coil sparks. If it is a aftermarket electronic ignition it does the same thing only there are no points.
