    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

1 & 4 fire off one coil and 2 & 3 fire off the other coil. If the primary leads haven't been crossed the coil with the longer wires goes to 1 & 4.
 
Alright, i checked the wiring out, and it was on 1 & 3 and 2 & 4. I changed the left side coil (if your looking at the back of the bike) to 1 & 4, and changed the right side coil to 2 % 3. It actually started, and idled at around 900-1000RPMs, but as soon as you give it gas, it just bogs out. The right tail pipe (looking at it from behind) poors out a lot of white smoke, but it smells like gas, not oil. The otherside is burning normally. Are the coils in the right spot? I checked the wiring diagram, and the primary leads appear to be in the right place. Also, the previous owner put a gas line on it from the petcock to the carb, but its clear-colored, and doesnt seem to fit very well. Its also got an inline filter, i think it may be restricting the gas flow to the carbs? I did check that airbox line too, and that was connected to the "valve cover" on the engine.
 
I guess im asking, what coils go to what, if someone can check. Someone said the one with longer wires, but they will both fit 1 and 4. Im going to try the fuel line, and see if that helps anything too.

Thanks again for all the support.
