I ride an '82 XJ1100 Maxim. It has dyna coils, soild core spark plug wires, new 5k ohm spark plug caps. and a new battery; turns the engine over pretty quick.
This MC will NOT start when it's cold (below 50 degrees F.) With a few words of encouragement, some starting fluid, and lots of cranking, It might start. I checked the fire on cylinders 1, 2, and 4 by using an old spark plug layng on the engine block, it was blue, but lacked the real snap I'm use to hearing. The spark was the same on all the cylinders.
When the weather is warm, it starts, I guess the fuel vaporizes better and ignites easier.
When it starts, it purrs.
Any ideas. Thanks
