My last bike was a 1976 honda cb400 supersport.....then i took 30 years off while I raised boys and did not want them on motorcycles in losangeles at ages 16-21. I recently bought a rebuilt 1978 xs650 (a special, i think), which had been converted by a gent even older than me. He was really old school, having raced at the old Ascot raceway in OC, Calif.
Anyway, the bike has a tc bros PMA set up....no battery....kick only. The bike is tough to kick over....prob. Due to the quality rebuild....and the PMA did start the bike once.....after I kicked it anout 60 times! I figured it was not getting fuel. I git busy on other stuff and returned to the bike 3 weeks later. Put fresh. Fuel in....nothing. Now i am getting no spark. The only thing I can think of is that when i was relocating the kill swith (3 prong), I messed up and reversed the wires. But it never stsrted like that ....although i kicked it....before I reversed the wires back. My question is....could my mistake have fried soemthing and if so...what?
If not, where should i begin in working backwards to find the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
