An idea: Could it be that the throttle cable is contacting a bare wire -
only happening when it moves a bit when opened????

not sure if this is a generator problem or a spark leak problem. or both or neither.. just finishing off a rebuild, and my brain is numb so, i'm sure i'm missing something easy. when i open the throttle, i get little sparks flying where the generator meets the engine case, toward the front of the generator - i thought i was getting spark leak through the coil wires, but i can't find anywhere they are rubbing, i do get a miss on the right side off idle...my charge light goes out and stays out immediately upon starting the bike (even at low idle) - haven't checked to see if it's charging, it was before, but i did take the battery out for a few days when i rebuilt something - haven't repolarized the generator yet (haven't checked...) any ideas? |
