    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Went for a ride on saturday and the bike out of know where started missing pretty bad. I know its not the carb do to them having all of 100 miles on the rebuild. Spark plugs themselves are brand new aswell. Anyone know how to check the coil pack to see if its bad?
 
These coils are usually pretty stout. The problems end up somewhere else but related. Check the voltage at the connector to the coil and verify you have 12V. How old are the plug caps? Are they cracked? Did you verify you have spark on all 4 cylinders?

Don't assume that a "fresh carb rebuild" is not still the source of the problem.

The wires could use replacing. I have yet to check spark. I will be testing everything tonight. Only reason i mentioned the carb rebuild is because the bike has been running perfect for the past few weeks since the carbs were reinstalled.
