All,
I hope everyone has been having a good summer so far. My '72 Roadster ran well for 700 miles then died (cut out at a light and would not restart) on my way home from work the other day. At this point I have no spark and the bike has been converted to a Boyer. Now the monkey wrench in the wheel; When it first broke down and I removed the plug to check for spark, I woulld operate the kick starter by hand and get a strong and long ( in duration) blue spark. Kick it again and again - nothing! Then, unexpectedly, another strong spark. Then - nothing. Put simply, a single firing of the plug out of maybe 15 kicks. Boyer problems? Where should I start. All help is always appreciated. Thanks!
