So i went to youtube to see how to adjust points plate and things. My bike 76 550 was always running well until now. Its got full tank gas and battery charged. It stopped wanting to fire last week. It wants to fire but just not getting that major spark to fire up. The battery just dies out after i try so much. On youtube i watched videos. They are using this light check point tester. I bought one and a feeler gauge. Now when i am hooked up with the bike on and tester grounded why do i not see the light pop on when im turnin the crank?
I have the gauges at about 16 to 17. Its now firing up right away but when i start messing with choke it will die out. When i start just takin off its runnin ok..but when i give gas or come to stop it wants to die out or its not getting gas it wants. Im so confused what i should do now? Should i just replace this points plate with new one? Where is this actually hoooking into? I see the wire but cant tell exactly wheres its connection is into for if i replaced this plate. Anyone possibly able to help me on any of this stuff? Im so lost now :/
