no spark!!
« on: September 28, 2013, 09:06:15 AM »
Hey guys. I am new to the forum and just recently pick up a running 75 cb550k.  Ok so with that said, here is my issue.  I decided to buy some clip-ons and headlight bracket from Dime city cycles.  Got everything put on and all the wirings hooked back up(correctly I think), everything works except for one thing, no spark.  I know this is kind of vague and probably forgot something important so feel free to ask away and any suggestions are welcome.

you got your RH switch wiring out of whack. Trace the black, and black with a white , you'll find the problem.

That's for the Kill switch correct?

For the stock kill switch, it is a pass through for power when ON.  It controls power to the black/white wire at the coils, needing 12V for spark to be created.
