spark plugs - are they telling me anything ?

You could just cut those coil leads say at 9" or so.Then with the two attached pieces twisted together splice in the extra bit of wire you need to run back to that 86 pole ( i.e. the trigger).

No need to pull it all apart again.

I guess I'll keep Saturday open in case emergency surgery is required

coil mod completed

I have not tested yet to see if this helps my dying engine at stop signs/lights yet

have to go out, will be latter, and I will let you all know if this helped any...

Looks very neat. Did you check the voltage at the coils now? I would like to hear how the test ride goes.

Good work GK. Can't wait to hear if it worked.

Sorry guys......NO test ride yet, no time, just finished buttoning everything back up, reset the screws back to 2.5 turn out, set the idle, got the engine nice and hot, she held idle just fine.....

I just zip tied all the wires and such, did not take the time to wrap it all up with tape and such, will do that over the winter, not now, have to ride, if possible.

Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, and the day after it clears up, so will do the test run then.

Honestly at this point, I really don't think this will do anything for me, but hey I could be wrong, I am hopeful that it will help and resolve my idle issues, but who the heck knows....

I still think there is something else at play, just don't know what, but I am only guessing until I get out and ride...

Well, the relay mod can't hurt. I know I put one on my bike with my new fuse block and the bike starts quickly and idles great. I really only have to tap the starter button. Now I also have all clean connections, new stator, r/r, clean carbs, blah bla blah..... so that could have a little something to do with it as well.

I agree! Does read like a good book. Anyone (GK?) remember what the conclusion of this was?
