Hi All
I recently worked on my 81 250 superdream to get it back up and running. The bike was running rich with the occasional pop and bang, but nothing a good solid ride and some carb fettling wouldn't have sorted.
I bought the bike to turn into a cafe racer, so when I knew the bike was running ok I started work on changing it. Somewhere along the line (very likely it was the new lithium small battery I fitted that blew the main ignition fuse) the electrics have had a paddy and caused issues.
I've got a spark on left cylinder, zero spark on the other one, and once running the bike won't rev at all and will only idle with a fistful of throttle keeping it ticking over. The only other thing that I've changed has been new indicators front and back, plus a new LED tail light.
I've replaced lots of the usual suspects. New reg rect. New fuses. Replacement CDI. Replacement coil set which also included spark plug leads and caps. New standard battery.
I really have no idea what else to look at besides pulling the entire wiring loom, does anyone have any suggestions or previous experience with an issue like this?
Thanks in advance !
