    No Spark 78 GS400X need help!

    I have been riding this bike for about two years, about 6 months ago the kickstart return spring broke so I finally replaced it. I had to remove the right side engine case (clutch cover) to replace the spring. It also involved removing the points ignition. I made marks where it was when it came off and put it back on exactly the same. Now I only can get spark from the right plug. I checked the coil and it is still good. I have sanded cleaned and regapped the point for the left cylinder but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Wires all reattached correctly?

    How old are the points/condensors?

    If you open the points manually, is there a spark?

      Dang I had the white wire under the insulator, switched around and got spark again! See if it runs this afternoon.
