No Spark after carb CBX rebuild
Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 5:26 pm
I refitted the carbs yesterday after a seal rebuild and tried to fire her up this morning, nothing happened!
I checked all connections again and all seemed OK, took a spark plug out and there was no spark, thought it may be the kill switch so checked the wiring diagram and found out there is a black/white wire coming from the kill switch to the brown connector above spark unit, at the connector I am getting 12.4 V DC, this wire then goes to the spark unit, I have rechecked all connections in relation to swinging the engine down to remove and re-furb the carbs, I have checked the coil connections as they are close to the carb cables but still no sparks, I have checked pots 1,2+ 6 for spark but nothing, I am getting 12.4 Volts at the coils, is there any thing else I can try? I would welcome your comments.
