Bringing K75 back from the dead.

Don't remember the details, I'll have a squiz at your thread on the weekend.

I think it's cranking but not running. I'd go to the basics. I think you had spark, spray some starter fluid down the carby while cranking to see if that fire's it up.

A K will start if you just take the snorkel off of the air box and spray it in there. Starter fluid aerosolizes enough to flow through the air filter and start the bike.

I have everything except spark.  It appears that the wires that connect to the pins in question go to the H.E.S..  That could explain no spark.  I'll do some more investigating today.

Installed a new ICU..................still no spark.  Will start replacing plug wires and plugs next.  Not sure where to look next.

Well, the 3 legged Brick is going back into storage.  Maybe I'll bring it back out in another 4 years.  Can't afford to just throw new parts at it in hopes that I hit on the right one before I go bankrupt.

Thank you all for your help and interest in this crazy idea.  I'll engage with you again when I get back to working on it in the future.

Over and out,

Good luck, Sopp! Thanks for letting us into your adventure with this thing.

I've dedicated this week to cleaning the garage.  Maybe I'll make enough room for the Brick AND my '42 Dodge C.O.E. for the winter.

Don't be a stranger around here.  We have a brick to get running.

I'm not giving up on the ol' girl, just taking a vacation from beating my head against it's gas tank.  When I bring her back into the garage the first thing I'll dig into is the H.E.S. since it's not getting a "pulse" to the coils. I've read several articles on ignition issues on this board.  Just need to apply what I read.  Made enough room in the garage to bring it in and the C.O.E.  This fall it's back to work.
