hello guys,hope yer Easter was good!
I was hoping to get some suggestions here on an issue that seems to developed.
I saw arcing while running the bike with the cover off previously so I took the points off and replaced with new ones as well as new condenser.The bike still ran subtly crappy albeit slightly smoother in the lower rpm range and take-offs.
Upon re-checking for arcing, I can still see 'blue' and 'yellow' sparks.
With the blue spark on the left point,the bike noticeably misfires(idle stumbles?) the yellow detonation happens on both points.
I am charging the battery now bcs it ran down whilst I re-timed the bike.I hope and suspect that might have something to do with it.I may need a new battery too.
Would a discharged/bad battery cause misfire?
What else can cause the misfire or subtly crappiness the bike is experiencing?
I set points to .30-.33mm
Timed to the LF,RF marks using 12V indicator test light
Next, if the battery checks out,I plan on doing a resistance test on the coils.
I have a feeling this is garden variety problem.
Any and all info/checks would be appreciated.
