<><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><> Bryan, Maybe a wire got pulled off the coil. Pull the tank and the coil is on the right side. Kind of just follow the wire from the spark plug. The terminals are two different sizes so you'll have issues trying to connect the wires to the wrong terminals. Maybe while the tank is off check the connections on the other wires under the tank. I know you had to move a bunch of them to do the valve adjustment. You did remember to connect the plug wire to the plug, didn't you? : ) Best, Jeff Saline ABC # 4412 South Dakota Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club www.airheads.org The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650, 79 R100RT ____________________________________________________________ Live the good life!
