I don't know if anyone saw the "driving me insane" thread, but I went thru everything and I've narrowed it down to a very weak spark. Should have been obviouse, duh. Anyway, would this be due mostly to a coil or cdi.

BTW, I went thru the timing which was spot on. Went thru everything and all is like new now. Just need to replace coil or cdi. (or both) Which one?

Thanks all, jdb

You really think it is the stator? Cause now that you mention it when I pulled of the side casing to check the timing I smelled a wierd smell like something electrical had gone south.

I have been watching your post, and I hope you get it running. Let us all know when your riding... Good luck, and dont give up...

I'll never give up! This thing has taken over at this point. Nothing else matters anymore untill this thing is running and out of the way in my garage floor. I gots ta know, what will make this thing run.

Another question. Is this bike worth keeping and what do you think it is worth? I'm thinking of selling.

Thanks, jdb

(sorry for the shaky pics)
