The bike quit on me the other day. It did not bog like it had carb issues (solved all those) just quit. Would not restart. Luckily I touched both the tank and the front brake lever while trying to start it and got a BIG shock. I took the tank off in a parking lot and rearranged the spark plug wires. It started right up but on the way home I felt some tingling (intermittently) when my leg touched the tank. I am running a CycleX ignition with a high energy coil. I am guessing that something is touching the tank and bleeding off the coil voltage. I didn't see any evidence worn, frayed, or cut wires or plug boots. I do not get any shocks with the tank off. I moved the coil forward as far as I could and I put electrical tape on the coil boots. It seems to have stopped. If the boots were touching the tank would that allow voltage to bleed off to the tank? Other things to check? Thanks.
