Hey guys,
First time poster here. So Ill get right to it. I Had a problem with my bike misfiring before and not being able to start up before which lead me to:
-Replace both ignition coils
-New Plugs
-New plug wires and caps,
-Adjust the points
-new condensers(this was the problem)
Now after all of that, the bike ran fine for a few days and all of a sudden the problem re appeared. The bike runs fine after warming it up and riding for about ten minutes but then The engine feels like it gets rougher and eventually it feels like 2 cylinders start to cut in and out intermittently. Before I replaced the condensers I knew the cylinders weren't firing because the Exhausts for those two cylinders were cold. After I replaced them, those two cylinders fired right up and the bike was running great for a full 3 days. Then the problem re appeared.
I was test riding after replacing the chain and sprockets today to make sure everything worked, and it did, but like i said, all of a sudden the power started cutting in and out and I barely made it back home.
When I got home, I took the points cover off to see if I had messed up some wiring, but sure enough it looked correct, but there was a slight burning smell. Is this normal from the sparking of the points?
my questions are
1. what you guys think the problem is?
2. Is the burning smell normal?
3. Could it be the condenser again, and if so, could there be something causing my condensers to go bad?
Please let me know.. This is my first bike and I vowed never to have to take it to a shop and that I would learn to do all the work myself, but I seem to be stumped.
Thanks guys!
