After-market Electronic ignition or points?
If points : you may think they look hunky dory when the bike is static/engine off , but they may be arcing/playing up at revs/under load? possibly? maybe?
I had a similar issue with an old Suzuki GT 250.
I set up the points according to the manual, but the bike would not run right???
In my anger i took the points out and hit them with a hammer until they were confetti.
After having to buy new points & condenser and putting them in, the bike ran fine.
Just my
Have you done a compression test to see if the are any issues there?
Diaphragm carbs so many little bits to go wrong?, will imbalance the running ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Yea it's the standard points
I thought the arcing can be a sign of a broken condenser. Maybe hitting it led to the best solution. 😅
I'll have a look out for arcing.
I was wondering if I could swap the wires at the points then switch over the Ht leads to see if the problem switches sides. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 225 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
