cb750k8 Cylinders 1-4 Not firing
« on: April 12, 2008, 12:58:10 PM »
It ran well, but the points looked worn to me (crosses in them)  so i pulled them and brought them to a local mechanic.  He said they were like new, installed them...and now im only firing on cylinders 2-3?  what did i do wrong?  thanks

Check your connections and set the gap to specs.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
