With my recent move I've lost track of all the threads here.
I was reading yours this morning trying to get caught up and saw that you are having a hard time starting your bike.
Try a little experiment.
When it is cold, pull your spark plug out.
Attach the spark plug to the coil.
Hold the electrode of the plug to the side of the engine.
Have someone kick the bike over like they mean business and make sure the electrode is touching the engine case.
Watch and see if it take 5 or 6 kicks before you see any spark.
Let me know what you find.

I'd like to rule it out before he wears his kicker out or gets mad and chucks it off a hill while trying different things :lol:

I thought he already had an MZB hooked up...maybe not. :?

Hey guys. I have a visible spark from the plug just by moving the kicker with my hand. Ce had some issues with the mzb timing and was able to get the bike kick started with stock electrical after maybe 20 kicks. But then the fly wheel key sheared as I was a bone head and didn't tighten the fly wheel enough. My plan is to first get a new key and then dial the bike in with stock ignition. The lectron tuning and mzb settings at the same time make it difficult.
