So im starting a new thread in regards to my 50$ xs400. I dont know alot about this bike other than it sat for a "few years" This bike has consumed me, I've only had it for 2 days now, and its all I can think about! Thank god for this site, I'm on here at least 3 times a day, checking for exellent info, and scoping out others awsome builds!
what ive done so far is removed and cleaned the carbs and put abit of fresh gas in the tank to check for leaks. All is well in that dept. I hooked up a 12v battery from my truck, and this seems to be enough, for it to power the head light, turn signals, brake light, and starter. If I turn the ignition on, and turn the kill switch to run, the press the starter button, nothing happens. so i put in a push button switch straight across the batt. leads on the solenoid. when I push this button the engine cranks over strong. when i pulled the spark plugs out, hooked to the coil and grounded to the engine block, I have no spark. Changed the coils... still nothing. Plugs look brand new to me? Thats where Im at. Sorry this was so long winded (couple of beers)
