Hey guys! With summer here, I'm really getting excited to get this bike running, but I seem to be at a stalemate. I've been working on this bike for a bit now and making leaps and bounds. Just yesterday I was able to kick it over for the first time(s) and amazingly it started and ran for about 10-15 seconds. I didn't try again as I noticed smoking coming from under the tank. Apparently it was one of my coils. The coils seem to be getting fairly hot without the engine being on. I've read that overheating coils are typically from the secondary side, but everything regarding the ignition is brand new, condensers, points, coils, plugs, wires and boots. The boots are NGK 5k ohm. Any ideas on what I should check? Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks in advance!
