Hi all,
Been a while since i've logged on, glad to see the place still kicking.
Recently picked up a 1983 special for a steal (i'll post pics if anyone cares), not running - of course. Decided it would make a good project for me and the old man to tackle.
Before we get into throwing a lot of money into the thing we'd like to hear it run but can't get it to spark. Bought a brand new coil (Mikes ultimate high output Part #17-6903), opened the TCI case to find everything in pristine shape, and checked the ohms on all the diodes which checked well within range. even checked the resistance in all the leads (all seven) which were all fine.
It also doesn't spark when the kill switch is flipped off, which is odd. any ideas?
Side question: who carries genuine mikuni floats and valves for the BS34?
