Default Finally tried to Start her up........

Well, we made a Valiant Effort at it but Round One goes to the Engine!!!!! Tom, Tom, Chris, Kit, Sean, and Earl fought with it for several hours, fixing a couple of problems that reared their UGLY Heads, but in the end the Engine held out and would not start

Well, spent another 2 hours on it this evening and still no go.........Round 2 to the engine....


Round 3 to the engine....


Well Tom,

I've checked the wires coming from the computer to the dizzy and am getting 12volts, I've changed a wire coming from the fuse box that went to the coil and now it goes to the ignition box, per the updated wiring diagram from KwikWire, I've, cussed, I've fussed, I've blown my cool, but it just will not give in to me


Stiil, no fire from the dizzy.......He-He......I like that word dizzy, kind of describes how I feel about the situation.....I picked it up from our Aussie buddies



Anybody got any SPARE SPARK laying around cause I sure as H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS can't find mine

I know us real men don't call the help hotline but it may be time! Just keep at it. I'm sure when you figure it out you'll be kicking yourself. I had a couple wires going the wrong way when I started mine. Nowhere in the diagrams I had did my wiring not make sense. I had a fresh mind step in & look at it. He said "Why do you have that wire going there?". It started right up.
