Hi guys,
I've got a 1980 CB400 that I have been building up as a Cafe Racer. Started as a total shitter paddock find and after a few months I've had it running etc
The other day I started it up without any drama (needs a bit of a tune on the carby side) just before I switched it off noticed that it seemed like it started to run only on one cylinder. Turned it off.
Had a look a leads, plugs etc and then tried to start it again. Nothing. Pulled the plugs and hit the starter (which turns) and they weren't sparking at all. Battery has charge, new starter solenoid, new reg/rec So shouldn't be those.
I tried kick starting and while that doesn't work the plugs do spark.
Any ideas? Could it be a faulty kill switch? CDI?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need more info just let me know.
Cheers,
Martin
