Mark Ohio 1976 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I thought it would be a good to provide an update on my bike. I continued having ignition issues with the headlight on. Almost 4 years after my original post I think I know the root cause. A little background: a partially sheared flywheel key and leaking main seals and main bearings contributed to poor running of the bike but did not fix the bike. The bike finally died with no spark, so I troubleshot the issue down to the magneto. I replaced the condenser and points and the bike has spark again! Headlight on or off it runs great! I think the condenser had an internal short. I also have very little arcing on points compared to before. I never gave up hope that I would fix this bike, even though it took so long. It's been a great experience to learn so much about the CT2. Have a great day! -Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
