IT HAS SPARK NOW!!!!!

Well I had another forum member send me pictures of the wires that go into the CDI- I had 2 in the wrong place (done by previous owner).

My new CDI came in and I was leary about trying it - thinking it would not work and I missed something - WELL it Sparked with new CDI. (the exact part number replacement).

Does she run? Don't know yet - I went to screw in plug and the previous owner messed up the plug threads so it would only go in half way. Purchased an M12x1.25 Tap yesterday and cleaned it out and plug goes in fine and is tight- Now I have to put head back on and see if she runs.
(I took the head cover and head off so that I could work on the bench and not get anything into the cylinder, and also clean things up a little and inspect the cylinder.

I will put on a temp fuel tank (gravity fed) and hope that she runs.

Thanks for all the help and I will keep you posted.
