Thanks sonrier. Turns out I had put the terminal on the inside of the plastic washer on one side ::) Luckily I didn't fry out my coils. Currently getting a strong blue arc on both my spark plugs. Thanks again!

The points are new but I did get to do a quick inspection on some of the factory terminals and some are pretty dirty and possibly corroded along with some of the wires to thefuses. Non flammable brake/parts cleaner alright to use on electrical components? Or should I just pick up a can of the...

At the battery terminals in getting about 11.5... I also found that if I disconnect the two wires from the points the volts in the terminals coming from the coils jumps from .1 to 10.7 when unplugged. I also checked the resistance in the wires coming from the points and when I move the wires the...

I'm actually only getting about 9.5 volts to the coils.

I've got blue going to blue. Yellow to yellow. Black/white to black/white. I have power going into coils but nothing after. Coils, condenser, points, plugs, wires, battery all brand new. Grounds are good. Kill switch is temp bypassed. In neutral. Key turned. I'm stumped. Bike isn't hacked at...

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" This is the only one I have.

Putting a pair of these on my barn find. Do they self ground at all through the mounting hardware. I don't have a multi meter with me.

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" haha yuh. Perfect size for "pickled pistons"... old family recipe. Picked this up today. 1976 CJ 360t. Sat in a garage for 15+ years. 7.5k. All original. Kick only. Owner thought it was seized. Pulled the plugs. Put it in gear. Pushed it around a...

well the bike had been previously kinda hacked by the PO so it going in the resto/mod tracker direction.

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" Here's the new machine my shop mate picked up. My dynasty 200 doesn't do AC so I lucked out this time. Gotta practice on my cast aluminum.

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" Then when I was taping the jugs off the bottom end I slipped up and tapped the fin. Just a little chip but enough to piss me off.

Here's where that patching up is needed. I found a "glob of dirt" on the bottom crank case. Chipped the dirt off the bung hole and found a crack... I'm gunna wash it over with the TIG and machine bung.

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" Carbs rebuilt

Re: GS 400 build. "Charlotte" Right now it's completely apart. Head is at the machine shop. Should be done next week. Pistons and jugs looked over. I got a few things that need patching up heres the pistons after soaking in a little dish soap and hot water and my home work bench...
