Hey everyone,
Engine is back together. I took the bike for a quick ride yesterday and it ran great with tons of power. There was a strong backfire from the left side exhaust on deceleration, but other than that it was fine. The bike was really hard to start but thats the only complaint.
I tried to start it up again today but it wont start. There is a buzzing coming from the ignition coil when the bike is turned on. The ignition coil is fine because I get the buzzing with two different coils. The bike will sputter every 10 kicks or so and occasionally misfire, causing the kickstart lever to fly upwards.
I tried to see if the plugs were even sparking but when I take out the plug and ground it to the engine it is constantly LIVE. You can feel the voltage while holding the plug. It also is randomly sparking without turning over the engine. I tried this multiple times with the crankshaft at various rotations.
What is going on?
