"the screw driver method" ;D

Hey man, those wires are one of two things...points to condenser, or condenser to coil. The points should have wires that come from them. The points connect to the condenser, the the condenser to the coils. If any if these is disconnected, then you get no spark. Looks like it's time to chase wires!

Judging by the gloves you wear, the questions you have asked, and the statements you have made... maybe you should put the tools down, and get yourself a manual. Without one you are definately on your way to making a simple problem way worse. Get a manual, and check to see if your points are working
dont judge a man by its gloves!! ;D theyre mechanics gloves man. I did find a website with a downloadable manual for my bike since yesturday. i found it at http://www.pdfgeni.com/book/cb-750-four-pdf.html for anyone that can make use of the free stuff there. I found the electronic diagram on there so im looking over it and seeing what the prob may be.killerdwarf said:
