What was sold to me last Spring as a "virtually new bike" due to the frame on out build done by the seller, and the trouble free summer I had with it, I am at wits end to understand why this Spring there is no spark at the plugs, the lights don't light, the engine turns over with or without the key in the ignition, even if the key is in the on or off position, and oil belches out of a breather tube coming from the crankcase. I have spent several days searching for shorts, disconnects, un-grounded stuff, strip searched the kill switch, gas is getting to the carb, but the plugs stay dry.
The engine is an '86 Shovel, with Evo digital ignition. Mikuni carb, Twin Fire II coil. The more I dive into this the more I can see this is not as new as claimed and it would have taken a strip search to see most of this stuff, which I assumed, like and idiot, the dealer had done their job and confirmed the sellers story.
Any suggestions? PS Check the Intro Sticky to get the story on "Mr. Digs". My name is John.
