Motorcycle Repair: 1979 xs650 Yamaha, xs650 yamaha, screw driver
QuestionI have a 79 xs650 Yamaha with spark on the points and when i flick them with a screw driver i get spark on the plugs,but here is the tricky part when i kick the bike over using kick the start i get no spark on the plugs,would you have any idea what might be causing this little hiccup thank you Donnie.
AnswerI would check all the ground wires to the frame and battery.
Check the points for burnt or pitting. Replace the points. Only other I can thing of is the ignition switch. That is certainly a Tricky issue.
It sounds like a dirty connection or a shorted wire. Cant ay I have ever encountered than problem.
Wish I could be of more Help...
