No spark
« on: Today at 02:48:14 PM »
Hi all
Here I am again after a long absence. I regularly  read the posts on the forum and have had no  major breakdowns for along while. Unfortunately my r65 ls has refused to start. Thankfully it decided to misbehave at home.  I t has never given any trouble electronically so I am at a loss as to where to go next and not very proficient with electronics. I am 76 yrs now. The bike is 1983 r65 ls. I have no spark. When I switch ignition on and off I get sparks at grounded plugs. Battery is fully charged.. Where do I go from here? Many thanks and best of health to all members.
