So I picked up a 1979 Special II with 22000 miles but running good. Ive been dying to build a cool thumper and this thing was a bargain at $500...
Well I got in two good rides before she died... She just sputtered to a halt...no spark.
and that was two years ago (sadface)
So I've pulled the old girl out of the shed and started the makeover. Ive done some cosmetics trying my luck with the angle grinder and the paint sprayer... all good so far!
But I need to address the electric. So 1st things 1st, do I have points or electronic Ignition?
I open the side covers to check and there is nothing there! no points no pemco no nothing! I can see through the hole to the other side.
Whats the dealio?
