    Check for spark at the plugs...................... You had the engine out, so re-check that you have correctly re-connected all the relevant wiring to the coils, ignition switch and igniters.

        Yeah..............I realised it was an old post once I'd pushed the button.

        Makes you wonder what half these people end up doing, or what the fix was. I guess a lot end up selling the problem onto the next newbie.

          well, my 850 is still running fine. no weird noises or anything. i was really careful on this one and i seem to have pulled it off.

          next job on that bike is plugging the dern oil leaks.....it's worse than an old harley.

            I was referring to the original poster.

            Good to hear that you were successful with your secondary drive assy, and that the ole girl is still doing fine. Where are these oil leaks? Does it have a really high mileage?

              a previous owner had removed the oil pan and used silicone for a gasket. i don't think it's holding up that well. plus it has the standard leaks i think from the cam end area. it'll get a rebuild in the next year or so. ~40k miles.
