I'm trying to get a 1973 harley (which I believe is a 125cc... it has 1 cylinder), to run. It is a kickstart. I believe the problem is in the ignition system. The sparkplug works fine, but I am not getting any spark. My question is, where do you think the problem is, and how can I fix it. Are there an instructions on how to check the ignition system (where should the wires be continuous), or what the breaker point settings should be?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and have a great day.

bought an LED to put in as a brake light..the first one spun and the glass was crackedas well as i did not notice the wire was inside the bulb was not attached. took it back to the store got another one,,,put it in and blah........it was not as bright as an ol' 1157..... I parked it beside an 05 1200 custom (with the regular bulb in it) and my 02wide glide's brake light/tail light was about half as bright with this LED , just looking for as much light to throw as possible.
got any CD bulbs that'll blind' em when I stop or see me in the night?(without melting the plastic lens ?) Meantime back to the good ol' 1157.
lasting longer means nothing it you can't be seen!!!IMHO

I have a 93' FXR. I love the bike but I am too tall to ride comfortably with the stock foot controls. I want put a set of forward controls on. I am fairly good with working on the bike but have never touched the transmission. I just wondered if this was something that I should be able to handle. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.
