Hello I have an '86 LT230s. recently I put a new top end in. Took it out for a test drive after the rebuild and the screw holding the cam chain tensioner was loose and fell out. When I stopped the motor I couldn't start again. Fearing the cam chain jumped the timing I pushed it back, reset the timing by using a screwdriver in the spark plug hole to determine the top end. Bike still wouldn't start where in the past it would start on the first kick. I was pretty confident I hadn't screwed up the timing so I pulled the spark plug to spray some starting fluid in the chamber and noticed the spark plug wasn't getting any spark. I tested the ground, the usual suspects. I had a donor bike so I replaced the coil and the CDI. Still nospark. So here is where is gets interesting. I take the stator cover off, wipe down the flywheel and coils and I guess what you'd call the magneto because they all had a light layer of oil on them. In order to take the stator cover off of course I had to drain the oil. So after wiping it down, putting the stator cover back on I get a strong spark. In my haste, I start the motor and let it run for about 20 seconds before I realize I didn't put the oil back in. I put the oil back in...and you guessed it - now I'm back to having no spark. I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace something - clearly I can't run it without oil. any ideas would be welcome.

Interesting statistic "A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon." Not bad!
