Re: CDI problem - possible to fit a 34L/55W CDI on a 3AJ

A cheap shot.... I know :)

Hi action

Thanks a brunch for taking time to write when on vacation.

Re: CDI problem - possible to fit a 34L/55W CDI on a 3AJ

Hi Melb and other responders

Damn, what a journey. Its been more than six months since I posted my first question in this thread. The combination of being a total newbie and having a frankensteiner bastard bike makes progress a bit hard. I now receive good help and work more or less every other ...

Re: Ignition problem....another one bites the dust

Geoff, thank you for the thorough explanation. I'll check if the plugs are getting wet.

Bernie, I have been shouting a bit, but not sure I included Bastard :) Im focusing on the electrical starter - but the info about kickstarting at TDC is of value as well.

Re: Ignition problem....another one bites the dust

Thanks for the quick feedback.

Im a noob, so bare with me.

ignition but does not have to have that much grunt?

Im away from the bike so it will be a while before I can provide new facts. But from ...

Re: Geoff's 3AJ rebuilds....

geoff, your bikes are just amazing. I especially like T3 which seems to be a fantastic mix of moto art and moto porn :drool:

Ignition problem....another one bites the dust

Hi there

Damn it, my bike (3AJ 1988) will not start. The problem was there before winter came and for some reason it has not dissapeared :scratch:

If I use the kickstarter (I installed one) it will produce a strong spark from the plug. When I use the electrical starter, the starter engine runs ...
