Coil Pickup Question

[Firehawk]

(Sorry about your cat, Pat.)

Alright, I'm a moron. The white wire stretched when I looked over them again. So, out of the four, the white wire was the only one that was spongy and stretched.

So, I'm guessing that might be the cause of this?

That will do it, Firehawk. Fix it as per the procedure..

[Firehawk]

Well, I did the coil repair as it was suggested. And some bad news.

The individual cut out I described stopped.

But now, it seems like the bike goes horribly out of time after 6000rpm. And it seems to be out of time prior to that, just not so bad until I hit the upper regions of the powerband.

I'm at a loss of words on the bike. It seems to just be one problem after another. And I'm running out of money and options.

[Ken Talbot]

What is it doing to make you think it is going out of time?

[Firehawk]

It's missing out, bad. Unburnt gas is being shot out the back, And it makes a horrible cracking sound in the exhaust, presumably from unburnt gas being ignited in the exhaust. The bike is alright until then, but I can hear it missing occasionally.

I've also noticed another thing, with the carbs clean and whatnot, and seemingly adjusted properly, I don't think that there is spark when it is starting.

I've recently had to have the bike jumped to get it to fire. Although the battery will turn over the starter just fine, there just doesn't seem to be any spark at start.

If the battery gets below 10V it will spin but do nothing else. Mine runs worse when the battery is weak, too.

Can't count how many times I've run my battery down....

[Firehawk]

That makes sense. The battery is only a year old, however. I'm not quite sure why it's doing this and not holding its charge.

I'm going to pull it off, make sure it has enough water and charge it.

Hopefully that will help me out.
