Hello, been a while since I’ve been on this forum or on my bike.
Have a TX650 which has been garaged for about a year due to illness. Have kept bike on battery tender and start her up at least once a month.
Went to start her up today and give us both some exercise and it was a no go.
So far battery checks out fine, carbs getting gas to cylinders, but no spark. Checked points have 12 volts. Crank engine with plugs out of cylinders but grounded no spark. If I separate points by hand with ignition on can get right side plug to spark. Also sparks between points. Points were replaced three years ago and show no pitting and no blackened and no oil on surface. I am assuming at this point need to replace the condensers, but before pulling tank, etc wanted to check in for any other suggestions.
Thanks
