Hey guys back again. Bike started acting funny and cut out on me while I was cruising lucky enough I was only about 1/2 mile from home.
I added quite a bit. H4 headlight mini tach and speedo from Mike's both backlit. Also added in a mini volt meter and 3d printed a mount for it to my tach. Replaced my reg/rec and got a 3.3 ohm dual output coil.
Started by checking my battery when I got home and it was still at 12 volts so reg/rec is working (bike was off)
* As a note I believe I cut out because old gas and shit got in my carbs. I've since cleaned them.
I think when I added the voltmeter I may have killed my battery somehow because now when I turn on the ignition I drop from 12+ volts to about 5 volts. Also as a note I have everything other than my backlit tach on a switch which stays off during starting. So far I only kickstart but I do have an electric still which doesn't fire up at all after I turn the ignition.
I've heard that a battery can still read 12+ volts with a dead cell but as soon as it's put under load it will drastically drop.
So far I've only got it fired on idle once since and it's run really rough...barely alive.
I did a compression test with a harbor freight gauge and got 90 psi after 10 kicks wide open, so with their error it's should be about 125 each cylinder.
Anyone have any ideas? Or any more info you'd like me to gather?
