The bike was running like a clock, even the thermo kicked in which was something that concerned me seeing as I was yet to see it goin – anyhoo, locked it up for the night, went out the following morning to do some more alloy polishing, pushed the starter and nuffin 🙁
The spark is as weak as water, so after some testin’ my biggest concern was realised – the stator had gone tit’s up *groan* oh well – replacing it can only be a good thing. I’m also going to replace the Regulator/Rectifier, rebuild and re-jet the carbs, scrap the ears and put K&N’s on and respray the frame while the motors out – might even re-paint the tank and side covers, I’ll see how I feel after the engine’s rebuilt.
