    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

On my bike I could start it and it would run for about 15 - 20 minutes sometimes a half an hour and die I'd let it sit for 15 - 20 minutes come out and start it right up... I had all my lights and the ignition was going just no spark at all. I noted I had a low battery and charged it put it on the bike and the bike fired right up... ran for 20 minutes and quit. No spark again. I went over all the connectiors and connections I could find and they were all set....

I had lost the signal generator. I had a spare one thankfully... It's right in front of the clutchon the right side... where the "points" would be...

I'll keep that in mind. I'm hoping that the PO's storage and care left everything in decent shape. It's got just over 12K on the clock now and it seems that the fuses were in the worst shape. Keep in mind that I've ridden 1/3 of this bike's miles since getting it in November.
