Onya Dave, been there, done that, not so long ago now. Ditched the points and installed a Boyer. Starts soooo much better when it's all set up right. If I may offer a comment - go and check you've got oil circulating before you run it any further though...

edit... sorry Dave if that sounds like I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs, it wasn't meant that way. Just not to get carried away with the buzz of success is all. Hope I haven't offended or sounded smug.

Oil flows like crazy, I'm fine there.

Finally got back to it today. And now? No spark. WTF. Everything checks out with the Boyer except when I kick it over, no spark at the plugs. Argh.
 
Great video Dave!

Way to go on your bike. I've been out of the scene here for a while. I'll have to try to go back and read more of your build threads.

Do you have a good ground to the engine?

I think I do.

I updated my big build thread with links to all the sub-threads. I had to create the sub-threads as that is the only way I could get people to look at the issues as they cropped up.
