Lost Spark To My Front Cylinder Today...
J6G1Z:
There I was, riding along minding my own business, when all of a sudden my bike loses power & starts running like a 250. I limped it home as I was only a couple blocks away fortunately. I pulled the front plug (the easy one) and there is zero spark.
I have replaced my coils a short while back, but they were used coils also. The newer coils have 7K miles less on them than the original ones. I haven't done any trouble shooting yet, as I'm a bit disgusted with the bike right now. Between my jetting issues & now this. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
J.
Bucko:
Easy to swap coils to see if the problem travels with the coil. If it doesn't then the problem may be related to the pickup.
Lefty:
Your title made it sound a lot worse! Losing spark is chicken feed compared to valve/piston failure. I feel certain you'll figure it out in no time and will post up what you found.
thumperdh:
Yeah, worst case scenario popped into my mind when i heard "lost my front cylinder"
J6G1Z:
I suppose the title does make it sound too drastic.
I changed the title to reflect the loss of spark.
Thanks everyone
J.
