Good evening Friends!
I'm having a problem with my 1969 CB450 and I need your advice. I spent the weekend getting the carbs running perfectly. I adjusted the floats as well as the air mixture so the plugs are burning lean and clean. Road the bike for 10 miles or so, it ran great. I parked it overnight and now it wont start. At first I thought it must be related to my work on the carbs, so I tore tore those apart again, but everything looks good. Then I realized that I was getting a weak spark on the left plug and no spark on the right plug. The points seem to be opening and closing smoothly, but no spark there either. I guess I need to move on to the coli and condenser, but I'm stumped as to why any of those components would go bad just sitting in the garage overnight?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, before I just go buy one of everything!
Thanks!
