My beloved Thruxton dropped me on the side of the road today. Fortunately I was less than half a mile from my house, so I pushed it the rest of the way.
She's been hard to start as of late, and was really running like crap today. I actually had thoughts of bad gas, or trash in the fuel lines.
Got her home and nestled into the garage, cracked open a beer and started checking things out.
Turned out I have absolutely no fire at the plugs.
Battery is new. Coil and rectifier are new. Plugs are in great shape and I have a new pair if I need them.
I am leaning towards the igniter box being the culprit.
Any input appreciated. Would love to be riding British again soon.
