[QUOTE="Roy Chambers, post: 175499, member: 11269"] Did you check the Spark Plug Cap ??? These bikes use a Resistor Cap! Sometimes they go bad. You can check them by unscrewing it off of the wire like a Nut. Turn it counterclockwise off the wire, then using a Ohm Meter on each end of the Cap, check the Ohm's. It should be around 5K OR 5 thousand Ohm's! If the Meter shows a Open, then it's bad! To reinstall it, or a New one, turn it to the Right and push wile turning it on the wire. ALSO: I never Sand OR File brand new points! Good made contact points have a Super Thin plating of Silver on them, it's so thin that you can file it right off in a few strokes. Only File points if they show hi resistance, cause once you File points, they expect you to do it to them all the time. Even if they look bad, don't file them if they are working OK. You can, however pull the paper through them to clean them. Even if you just want to readjust the gap, don't file them unless you absolutely have to. Another tip is, to set the points, use the fatcaaat method ! Look under, Modifications. increase the performance of your stock engine, post #10. OR use a Timing Light instead of a feeler gauge.
