Hi Welcome to YOC If your a big fatty sounds about right sorry have you changed the HT lead ? Try posting your Question in workshop you'll find the answer there

Hi jamie Welcome to YOC

Elvis if your other half see's half the stuff you post on here, your in deep shit

one of my customer's is a retired sparky who repaired old tv/radio that sort of thing, think I'll ask him to take a look.

Not many fly's about at the moment you don't really need one

I was out today for first time this year and apart from the low sun it was great I really enjoyed it, only went to Warrington which is about 8 miles each way but the town center was gridlocked around 4pm when all the shops were closing, I was so glad I went on the bike, big grin from ear to ear riding through that lot.

cheers drew was thinking about opening it up and reheating some of the solder joint ect I also have a 4th cdi off my third bike but that was already smashed when I got the bike as it was a stolen/recovered bike but may have some bits in it I can use might as well give it a try as can't break it anymore.

thank's Jim I'll look into it

can't find any for that money Drew ?

yes Jim, just found a new only one problem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XS400-Ignitor-Unit-NOS-XS400J-XS400K-1982-1983-CDI-12R-82305-00-XS-400-/251183452096?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7bb34fc0

Very tasty Shaun, enjoy your commute

Hi brant Welcome to YOC ! ....is it just me very hungry or does your avatar remind anyone else of

is looking good Foamy as Drew said try and keep focused on one project, see it through to the end.

first the good news my bike is running fine again & it was an easy fix (cdi) now the bad news I need another Cdi for my other bike I had 3 units turns out only one good one, I bought one off ebay a while ago very cheap now I know why! its useless the bike won't even start with that one in well they said untested guess you take your chances on something like that I'm not going to bother finding another till I start working on it and don't know when that will be, its been standing for about 4 years now maybe someone would like to swop me for a 2t.

I'm impressed Foamy this looks like progress, so have you sorted the swingarm or are the pics in reverse order

You'll have to get the tracker out for that one Drew unless you plan on borrowing your son's bike

Nice spot there inspector Blackhat & Fawzi shame on you!!...... ha ha ha Welcome to YOC, you'll fit in just fine here

Ha ha ha I love it, you'll end up buying one just to see

That is fecking gorgeous Drew you should be proud of that

already back to square one mate, not cured the problem beginning to wonder if it is the carbs after all, will try new spark plugs next but the ones I have in have only done around 3K, maybe also try switching the CDI from my other bike

Me too Jim, must admit been looking on ebay but don't think i'll find an RD in my price range, think I'll start with something small first just to dip my toe in. Probably have to build a new shed first though, no room at the moment.
