Hey there,
I had posted in another thread but realized I had hijacked it whoops.
I'm working on my second bike restoration here in sunny Rhode Island. First bike is a 1974 CB450, bought for a song, basically a little electrical here, some cleaning and brakes there and she's good and reliable.
Me being overconfident in old bikes decide to buy a 1972 cl100.... in a box. I got a new wiring harness, battery, and the rest was all there.
I get the bike together thanks to a scan of the service manual and it starts! But doesn't run long and bogs down from half throttle all the way to full throttle.
Tonight I went to check the static timing and spark advancer for the tenth time and realize that I was no longer getting power to the point plate. The wire is getting power and the plate is right up until I mount it, then nada.
Anyone experience this before?
Thanks
