Thanks Ron, I *could* use the manual if you can find it.  We've been working so much on chasis setup abd haven't even had to look at the motor til now.

Yeah, I think it's all dried out and I haven't found anything (particularly) wrong with the wiring.  From what I tried last night, I think the coil has a shorted primary and I'm not so sure about the cdi box... heck, for $130 I *might* just call Dennis Kirk and do it all right.  The bad thing is that will be taking away $$ from the new tires, man, is it hard to swallow $550 buck for a set of Hoosiers.  Wish there was an alternative.  On top of that, I need to get wider front wheels (or halves) before I do the tires.  $$$$
