    Hey guys, this is a 1978 cb750k. I am getting spark on 1 and 4, but not 2 and 3. I am getting power in the yellow wire all the way up to the connection to the coil.

    Just bought a 1971 or 1972 cb750. Engine serial and frame serial come up as 1972 but was registered as a 1971. So if I wanted to purchase a whole new wiring harness would it make a difference ? Comments and opinions welcome. Thanks in advance
