So I purchased a spark plug last night to check and make sure that the bike is sparking correctly. I got too lazy to check it last night, so I checked it quickly a short while ago.
Neither cylinders 1 or 3 sparked (the back two cylinders). Immediately I suspected one of the spark units was out. I replaced spark unit for 1-3 with one of the old melted ones from the fire...yes one of the old melted ones, a desperate attempt to test the spark. Guess what? It sparked! It just sucks that I had purchased one on ebay that was obviously defective. I'm going to see about getting a refund on that or picking it apart and see if I can fix it. Meanwhile I will need to source out a new spark unit (the old burnt one is frayed a bit).
Hopefully I will get around to starting this on Sunday. Oh and I figured out that the turn signal is not a relay issue, so I am assuming a wire is smushed in the headlight.
Also, I realized that 1/4 inch vinyl line fits appropriately on the carb bowl drains. This helps with draining the bowls carefully into a tank/fuel bottle.
