Meanwhile back in the Bat Cave.....seems I'm having Technical difficuties.The Coils I picked up have to go back the Posts are all stripped out( what I get for trying to save a Buck).I'll just bite the Bullet for 3 new ones.I was only able to get Spark on 1 Cylinder.We'll see what happens when I get new Coils.

nothing to report....still stuck with not getting spark. It's frustrated me to the point I just walked away from it. I'm about ready to rip out all the wiring & start over.

Yep....3 new coils,points, condensers. Thinking about it, I have new wires also so never gave them a thought. I'm gonna see if this is where my problem is.

I'll be god damned if I can find where the problem is. I was planning to convert the bike over to electronic ignition after I got it running. I've decided to pull the trigger & Get a Boyer ignition. I'm also going to make a couple changes while I wait for the extra funds.

Thanks......christ has it really been that long since I've walked away from this love hate relationship? Well I'm gonna get back on it. Have a bent tappet that I need to replace. Will order that in the next week hopefully & put the top end back together.
