I've had the same condition from a bad condenser as posted by johnjzjz. Are you sure your timing is real close?

 

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and inputs...really appreciate it.

One test I also did while the coil was on the bike was to pull both plugs, put a wire into one of the plug wires, have points closed, turn ignition on, hold wire from plug wire about 1/4 inch from head, turn ignition on and manual break the points. The spark was so week it barely was even noticable. I even touched the wire (by accident) and the current did not make me jump. So.......I am taking a great leap here and went out and bought a new coil and just to be safe a new point and condenser. Tomorrow I will let everyone know how this ends......maybe will end in a ride...."fingers crossed"!!!!!!!

Thanks eveyone....

 

Hi Baird,

I set the points right at .018....double checked it many times. As for setting the timing with a timing light off of the front cylinder the light would not light up at all due to what I think is a very weak spark from coil.....tomorrow with tell the tale!
Thanks!

 

Thanks everyone,

Problem solved...new coil and she fired right up!
Thanks

 

Great! Now get some riding in before the real cold.
