David Ruppe PSINet Corporate Services >> Try an old trick. At night, uncover engine, turn out lights, start engine and let idle. Take a spray bottle of water and spray the ignition wires. If there's a breakdown of your wires when wet, it will show up as a nice spark (one of mine were sparking directly to an injector). Look carefully all around the wires and be carefull of turning belts & pulleys. John Fleming 85 Westy
