  1. Thanks guys I really appreciate the support!
  2. My new gasket is supposed to be in tomorrow started cleaning up the mounting surfaces: Found another obstacle I knew there were bolts missing, but not really expecting this, broken stud, not surprising the shape this thing was in, but its coming around. Got it out with a little patience ,PB Blaster and hammer and chisel, I only use ease outs as a last resort, the small ones always break then you really have a problem.
  3. Sounds like main jet is stopped up.
  4. Looks like it will be a fun ride.
  5. Do you have parts missing or damaged. Which piece are you referring to.
  6. If the neutral light is not coming on your battery is dead, but it does sound like the stator is not functioning charging the battery.
  7. Local dealers are more expensive than online dealers, you might compare prices I use rocky mountain ATV and Motosports.
  8. I like heating and bending (porta power) better than cutting and welding.
  9. Thanks for the info, wasn't sure, it does show one in the parts diagram but it may just be a spacer.
  10. There are about 3 posts with weak spark on these bayous, something is wrong, maybe they are are not playing well with the metallic-oxide semiconductors.
  11. Im thinking you may have to get an OEM coil just to make sure you have the right one, I say this because I ordered 3 aftermarket before I got one that was close to the right specs, still wasn't exact, but I am sparking, not running yet waiting on parts, but if I still have problems running that's what I will do. It still may be your ignition unit, but like Mech says if your not getting a good spark on the bench with direct battery feed something is wrong.
  12. The pickup coil and pulser coil is the same, under the stator cover the small coil that generates voltage for spark as the rotor goes around, you said you have condensers(small capacitors) are they internal or replaceable external.
  13. Sorry you guys are having so much trouble, im at a loss right now, maybe try a 350 chevy coil. I will download manual and take a look.
  14. Went out today thought it might be a good idea to check the valve clearances while the tank was off, too bad I didn't think of that before I put the tank back on, so I took the tank back off, I could tell these bolts had never been removed from factory, intake was .003 perfect, range .002-.004 exhaust was .006 range.006-.008 I usually try to go middle of range but was good so didn't touch it. Pull starter needs attention, this bike was so neglected. Really rusty no gasket, have to make one. Cleaned up fairly well with the cheek poker.
  15. That really took a massive hit, it appears to be pushed up on the right side
  16. The rockers do seem different, one is more polished than the other, maybe a replacement, when it was together and you rolled the engine over did it appear to do anything.
  17. I have been thinking it was the ignition unit also, but I don't like to suggest high dollar parts until im sure, the only thing that still makes me unsure is the ignition unit normally either works or doesnt work, in my experience, it does concern me that your pick up coil and main coil are not up to specs, but If you bench tested the coils and got a good spark, then we are back to either pickup coil or ignition unit.
  18. Now that I can hear it better it does sound like a fuel issue, there should be an air fuel mixture screw you can try turning it and see if it helps, also the throttle needle you could move it up a notch and see if it helps. This is a new clean carb.
  19. That’s great I think they are good machines look forward to seeing the photos
  20. Sorry to hear that you have worked so hard on it, hopefully you will get it
  21. Which repair manual are you looking in , I downloaded a 93-2005, and one for a 99 the 99 seemed more right for your bike, the other one was just like my big bear one, same wire colors and everything.
  22. I thought your was good because you are getting a spark.
  23. This is the correct position for the pickup coil, yours being a 96 may not be the same but should be close This is upside down
  24. I got my parts in today opened the box and the gasket was broken, the joys of mail-order, still had to clean the tank and petcock out so started on that: not bad: Tank was in. good shape, petcock not so much, but I cleaned it up, lots of corrosion under the gasket probably was leaking, if it leaks I will replace it, boring stuff but I thought I would share, I like to see photos of revival projects.
  25. I would go over the steel strip with 600 to 1000 grit sandpaper just to get crud off with maybe WD40 or some sort of contact cleaner, I would do the same with the little metal button on the pickup coil, just to get them clean and polished. Even though the metal button on mine was pointed toward the stator it was upside down sticking above the side cover, that's probably not you problem because you are getting some spark, I was getting nothing, but I would clean the 2 metal pieces and any rust you see while you are in there.
