Coil Relay

[Greg B]

Just wanted to thank everyone for the tips & advice.
Finished up the wiring & got the bike started this morning.
Need to fiddle with the carbs some, but all is good so far.

Make sure you have a good battery. That sounded stupid. Of course you have a good battery. Last summer I didnt. When I turned on the key....the head light came on....I pushed the start button.....and although the starter would crank the battery voltage was too low to latch the coil relay. No relay voltage, no coil voltage, no ignition.
