Ok so, I have a 1978 xs650 bobber i been building. I had it running and was almost finished.
I took it out for its first test ride and I over looked buttoning down the capacitor nice and tight before leaving.
As you could guess, I was rolling down the road (about a 1/2 mile or so) and the capacitor fell out of the mount and there for ripped the wire connections off and fell under my rear tire, thus being run over very quickly.
I bought a new capacitor (same exact one that broke) and now my bike won't spark.
I'm wondering, could the capacitor falling off like that have caused a short in the system? Could it have fried my regulator or coil? Possibly even my ignition points?
My electrical understanding is very minimal.
Thank you
