Hi Guys, initially apologies for my first post being a "HELP" blasted bad manners and all that I know.
My Bobbed Harley Evo 1340 Kick Start has run out of sparks at the plug end, and as my understanding of electrickery is basic I thought I'd take a couple of days off work and chase all the wiring through.
Talk about one step forward twelve steps back!
I've checked ..........
The ignition switch ...OK
Battery .... OK
Thermal overload switches ..OK
Wiring continuity ..OK
Alternator ..OK
Spare Sock Drawer .... No Luck
What puzzles me is when I removed the Nose Cone (the points are fine) I noticed the springy side of the points which the wire is attached to is Positive yet the fixed side of the points which the top band closes onto are going to Earth.
The actual frame of the points are bolted onto the back plate which forms part of the casing so it's got to go to Earth, but how can that possibly work?
Is that the problem? Any other ideas? Can anyone suggest where else to look? Hope you can help please. :worthy
