David,
Because the wire from the coil to the condensor (flywheel) had been cut, I had to use an electrical connector thingy to make the wire long enough to reach the condensor. I used one of those quick connector type fittings. Could this connection weaken the electrical flow enough to cause the bike not to turn over? I'm not sure what is meant by a "fat spark". I get a blue spark, but not what I would consider "fat". Also, if I removed the cylinder to replace the rings, etc., would the timing automatically be off?
TIA,
Larry
