So I've had my '80 xs for a little over a year now, and am all too familiar with the little oddities and frustrations of owning a vintage bike. So heres my problem...
I've had it running a half a dozen times thus far this season, and out for at least one good ride, and it ran great! Then it sat for about two weeks and I went to start it up tonight and theres no spark. I suspect I need a new battery because it doesn't hold a charge much.
So i jumped it from a buddies bike and all my lights and other systems work fine, but no spark...I ran out of time tonight, but i'm just lookin for a little advice on where to start and anything I could check first to save some time.
Thanks!
