    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Excessive heat problem and Can't get any speed out of her

Fixed it!!! :)

Fixed it!!! :)

Well, it looks like I fixed the problem. :D

First off, thanks to everyone for their help.

So what'd I do? Well, after going through the wiring from the igniter to the coils, I found out that I had the two signal wires from the igniter to the coils backwards. Because these were backwards, the only way it'd run is when the spark plug wires were on 1-3 and 2-4. When I swapped the igniter wires and put the spark plug wires to 1-4 and 2-3, she kicked over instantly. Idle was a bit high, but nothing a few turns of the idle screw didn't take care of.

So I hoped on, opened the throttle, and she tore off down the street. Tons of power I had no idea she had! I haven't taken her up to any high speeds, but you can definatly tell there's power to take her there.

So what'd I learn from all this? That I know nothing about electronics! Ha! Actually, I learned to check, double check and triple check all wiring connections if there's a problem. Just because I did it right the first time, doesn't mean I did it right.

Thanks again for everyone's help.
