Just for confirmation, at [USER=3206]@DEcosse[/USER] ' behest, I just ran the bike with one spark plug per cylinder. I let it run for about ten minutes -- nominal.
I submit this confirms the problem before is in fact the unacceptably low (for this application) coil resistance.
Replacements ordered.
And [USER=1328]@warp9.9[/USER] - I am far less comfortable than you at raising the tank and messing around under there, and yet I am compelled to do so.
The COP mod is being made for the very same reason you recommended removing the support bracket for the Number One coil. I thank you for that.
And playing with the bike, and overcoming the challenges, is just plain fun, and unlike my firearms, there aren't as many stupid people out there trying to prevent me from doing it.
I love the opportunity to associate with all the smart, fascinating, capable souls who frequent these pages. Thank you !
