I've never herd an ignition coil make a noise of any sort. It has no moving parts.
There is sometimes a "snap" as a set of points opens.
Sure the noise is coming from there and not a relay somewhere? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Ok, it has been a while. I tried to get electrics working but decided to strip the bike and start overhauling the parts bit by bit. It was just taking too much time to prove engine is working and there are so many clogged parts, I dont think it would have proved anything. All I know is there is some comp and it is turning.
What remains on the bike frame are the chain, engine, brakes, forks, wheels. bike didnt have many miles but looking at the state of carb, I think it is best to disassemble the engine, clean, put new gaskets and reassemble. I bought a parts washer and some jizer.
Frame looks good, it is dirty than rusty and definitely no holes etc. Would you strip the paint and primer/repaint?
Even though I use JiS screwdrivers etc some nuts are stripped, is it possible to find the same spec nuts?
Wheels are horrible so I really cant decide if I should make an effort to salvage it or just get better/new wheels. I still need them in place to wheel the bike to garden to work on it though. Parked as a later stage issue to be sorted.

Worth checking the barrel and piston out before dropping money on new stuff Any scoring or gouges? Maybe missing a piston ring? The barrel liner can be redone and pistons and rings easily replaced. Carb condition doesn't affect the compression BTW! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

All good advice
I wont try to start the engine, all cables etc stripped now and I think I will need a new ignition coil and points.
It makes sense to open the top end now and order stuff for after xmas in case I need them. I will post the pics. |

Yes, they are fucked but focus on the area of travel i.e. what metal is potentially hitting the fork oil seal. The top bits are just used in the steering clamp and they don't really matter.
The bolt at the bottom of the fork... I've seen so many people struggle with this: a case of if there's a hard way why do it the easy way
If you pop the top cap off and take out the spring then nothing's pressing on the damping rod. Go to undo the hex head bolt and the whole thing - damping rod and bolt - just spins inside the fork. Leave the spring in and have at it. It may still spin but you stand a better chance. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
