well last year my dad had issues carb leaking fuel and air and replaced it with new one, so after that he went through and replaced coil, points condenser, and plugs, and fuel filter, after all that was done ,he drove it around 1 0r 2 times before the temps dropped around here into the teens, so after he got it back out i was hooking his battery tender up when i saw his battery ground lug broke off laying to the side no hooked up, so i asked him you know your battery grounds broke, so it was getting its ground throught the seat and bolts and etc. so we put a new battery ground back on bike, now the bike will run for 3 miles and start to act up like popping and missing, almost can't get it back home, the other day we noticed same thing, it started at the same 3 miles, ,, crank it cold motor and it runs like a new one, motor heats up hot and it starts to run like garbage under acceleration.
popping sounds and lack of power. so this is what were thinking, i asked this awhile back and someone said it could have ruined the coil due to resistance issues with battery ground, or a bad condenser???
we changed plugs tonight, same thing popping,
changed fuel filter, still popping,
so after the motor gets about 3 miles on it ,something is heating up and causing trouble?? please opinions??? any will help
