Oh I was just doing the old redneckian stick the plug against the jug and hit the lever.

Think I got it. Coils tested within spec, power to coil primary side, points adjusted good, spark occasionally. Brand new lawn mower battery from Wally World. Hit it with jumpers from the car for shits and grins and BOOM! Bright blue spark. Actually had it running for a bit!

My dual point ignition is making spark sometimes,but not always. Mostly is parks once when it first starts cranking. Point gap is fine and contacts are clean. What gives?

But I don't want to turn this into a classified just introducing myself as a new member with a pretty sweet mostly original '73. If I go through with it I want original tank, upgraded rear shocks, most likely remotes, good bye air box and big seat in favor of something like Omar's offers. I have...

Yes it is. After this thread I figured I'd test the water. Like I said earlier I'm into the flat tracker look and this being a relatively complete early example I'd hate to "wreck" it.

Hahaha! I would only consider trades, but I would wait and see if it runs first! I've actually wanted a 70's yami for some time...I do want to hack it up a bit and would hate to ruin it if it's worth more to someone else as a resto priject

So pipes that say 74-82 won't work on a 73? Ps my title should say tx not tax. Stupid auto correct!

Hey all! New to this particular forum. Just nabbed a 73 barn fresh with a lot (13,000) miles. Said it ran when parked, and it has a title! Wanted to do a flat track build. When I look for aftermarket stuff on mikes xs and other similar sites all the aftermarket crap starts at 74. What gives?
