UPDATE
FOUND IT WAS A PLUG. BUT TRY AND FIND A NGK PMR8B ON THE ROAD. AUTOLITE 4303 CROSSES AND WORKS FINE. NOW IT IS JUST A REGULAR PLUG AND I WILL CHANGE WHEN MY NGK'S COME IN BUT BACK ON THE ROAD AND WILL KEEP IN THE BIKE. ONLY $2.50

I know the things i need to check have new plugs on order and some backup coils. New wire from coil to plug installed.

Anything else i should look at have basic diagnostics tools. Centurion VDST.

Thanks

Micky

if a new plug fixed I would wonder if you had a bad connection with spark plug cap.   You might check if it's broken or cracked.

All

i just did the last as an experiment to prove it was plug.

Tip darker than good one but did not look that bad. stuck in boot and hsa weaker spark. but i am not going to subject my new wire any more about than nessecary. i will hope i fixed it and go from there.


Thanks for all the support. :bow:
