yup, ground it. to anything. blue/black wired to ground. yippee

nope...i don't even have a blue/blk wire...the wiring block seems to be a little "different" but in tracing back stuff it seems pretty much right...all the wiring diagrams show a 7 pair block and mine has 5??? it's a '76 tho so maybe they changed after that...anyway the blue/blk appears to be purple and i don't seem to have a button for the horn anyway...

I pulled the flywheel cover off thinking the points might be jacked...i think they are because as i rotate the flywheel they don't ever make contact with each other...that is really wrong isn't it? not sure wheree to start with that????

help!

I'm having 5 wire Bosch issues myself, but yeah your points should be closed most of the time and open just before TDC. I think that is why you have no spark. Also you have an internal ignition ground.

yep...i admit the lazy part just needed confirmation...not rust...this thing has 336 miles on it...it looks brand new...just won't start. i'll gap 'em tomorrow and set the timing to 16-18mm...thanks all i'll let you know if i have an epic fail...

update...released the stop screw on the points...they fell right into place...gap and timing looked like they were good...got sparky...yeah!...no gas going to carb...took it off, cleaned with carb spray, banjo bolt and the port to the float were totally gummed...new fuel line....fired right up!!!

this thing hadn't been started in at least 8 years...i'm thinking more like 30 years...the gas was left in there and just evaporated into a sludge...gonna clean tank, new tranny fluid, petcock....runs like a new bike...thanks for your help...really
