So i wired in a brand new fuse box but still no spark. At least it looks a lot cleaner.

Yes, there was a battery tender installed with the new battery.

he'd never heard of the site, no.

So i've found under the seat, a suspicious level of inline fuses that has been installed at some point over the years. I'm wondering if any of these are my culprit.

I've changed out the coil packs under the gas tank. Still no spark. I also looked for a kickstand switch but there doesn't seem to be anything around the kickstand that is electrical. I'm still at a loss here.

Thanks, it is getting gas just fine, but no spark. The kickstand should be down to start is what you're saying? Ill look for the relays tonight.

Thanks Chris, I shall resist drilling that brass cap then. ill see if I can locate all the fuses and check the coil pack as well. I did notice the Electric starter won't kick off unless it's set to Run so got that covered. LOL

Hey gang, I purchased a 1981 XS400 special from a buddy in my classic car club, This bike only has 15k miles on it. The bike was running back in November but it was parked and the gas tank drained. I got it, replaced the battery, put some gas in it and have been trying to get it running...

Just bought it, trying to get it running.
