Getting a spark...

so I'm still whiffing at what she's throwing now.... //////////and hopefully it's not the all important smoke that occassionally escapes......

Yeah, Brent, I "think" I went through all of the connections last Spring without success, and I addressed the usual suspects (tip switch, resistor, key switch, kill switch, etc.). I guess I'll do it again when I am more mobile, but it sure is frustrating. Thanks for the ray of hope.

Two more unmentioned steps I took;
Leave it alone for 2 weeks.
Work on it most of a day, only to be further behind than when I started...Would not turn over, after...

Also, the number of hours & cigars I burned tinkering may have been underrepresented.

These bikes can be fixed...I am watching for good news from you.
