bebebebbeebbbeebbeebbeeebbbeeb
have you got any idea at all?
guess what?
its' the BSA.
when you push the horn button, the spark plug sparks.
no shit.
really...
a couple of guys were over last night trying to help me figure out
why the BSA Victor won't start since being back from SpeedWeek. at one
point we had the plug laying on the head, and being not sure the Bat.
switch was on, I pushed the horn button, and the plug sparked. I did this
again. it was repeatable.
I have a ground fault problem. I think the salt has gotten between
the engine and the frame causing the fault troubles, I'm gonna run a NEW
wiring harness, with NEW wires, and fewer connectors, and attach real
ground straps between the engine, battery and frame. also gonna get some
electrical goo that seals the connections and makes contacts work better.
it was several long days trying to figure this one out.......but I
learned something new.....
