Yea... now who wants to guess what it was... No one had hit it so far. So....guess on...
Cool.
Srinath.

what did you do to get gino's bike up.. .

i think it was the damn valve adjustment..may have been too tight or something..

fuel?

clogged air filter?

Airbox clogged? Fuel valve on the auxilliary tank turned off? Banana in the tailpipe?

Remembered to turn on the kill switch? :nana:

I was gonna say that it was shorting.

Ooh, ooh, was it the alternator!? Or the regulator/recifier!? Allowing a big blue Alternating Current spark across the sparkplug electrode!?

Nope... It had an IV supplying fuel to carbs, and no filter and the bike was cranking so no kill switch or clutch switch or side stand issues... nd not the trigger plate or black box either.
Cool.

the flux compacitor!!! i knew it!!!

The spark plugs giving off that blue spark?? :mrgreen:

fuse?

The sparkies were new and shiny... Tossed them, put some shitty old plugs in and fired right up...
Cool.

Hey I said the spark plugs, I was just using what you said about them giving off a blue spark in your post about the bike not starting.   But anyway glad you got it working.

You were close... but who could have guessed shiny new plugs with blue spark was bad and dirty worn plugs that make brown spark is good...   ...
Cool.

look down into those "new" plugs, i bet there is a crack in the insulation, near the base of center electrode,  once compression hits the plug, the insulator moves a tad allowing the crack to open giving the spark a shorter gap to jump.   thats one of the reasons i wont use autolite, had that happen 2 x once with pontiac, once with plymouth valare. drove me nuts for 3 days trying to find the reason for the miss,  one may joke about Rotating sparkplugs, but i found that was the problem.    laying there connected to the wire, the insulator is tight and not exposing enough of a gap for spark to jump. so it jumps the Normal gap and looks fine.   Yes, put this one down in the rare section of the notebook.

the jiggamoflatz of the whatchamacallit!?  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

I bet those weren't NGK plugs!? I never put anything but NGK, or Bosch for my German friend, in a motorcycle. Too many problems in the past with others.
