Installed new pick-up coil, replaced cover gasket, started right up. (No special measurements (no book). Took 2 trips around the neighborhood, so far so good. Wouldn't be convinced until the bike successfully completed my "proving circuit" of 12 miles of challenging conditions, that it has failed 4 times, all at the same spot!
The bike had passed the test so far, but as I approached the exact spot that killed it before, she quit again......I was able to get off the road, and switch to reserve on the tank, and she fired and got me to a gas pump. Filled her up (3.8 gallons) and started the proving circuit from the beginning. This time, she ran like new the entire route. Un-believable!
