    Roger that. My bad. Didn't realize it was that big of a deal for a few. I probably only ran it for 2-3 minutes total. What could it do to to the motor? Just curious. I will work on getting it back together now and go from there. Thanks again!

    NEWB HELP! Don't Know where to start. Spark plugs are not sparking starter not workin

    Ok. Glad I have narrowed it down. Most likely it sitting outside without the gas tank on for 2 years sometimes covered sometimes not must of ruined the coils & wires. Should I purchase new or used ones? I see a bunch of used on Ebay just don't think it's worth it paying the same price new for a...

    For Sale - 1982 XS400J Maxim Frame, clean title, $200 OBO.

    Quick question for you. You said its easy in your state to get a new title for a vehicle? My bike was gifted to me from a friend just for removing it off his property.

    NEWB HELP! Don't Know where to start. Spark plugs are not sparking starter not workin

    Yea, I found it on another post what the OHMS are suppose to read. I should be able to try it tonight. Now you don't have to have it connected to the battery to check the OHMS? Or do you? I was just testing voltages before when I tried to test them and now I know that was not the right way after...
