Default 76 troublehead, lol

for some reason my bike went from a one or two kick to sometimes a twenty kick
or better, I changed the points and condensor, still the same problem, figured there
might a problem with the advance weights, so I opted for eletronic ignition, the first
few days it was good, now I back to the same problem, checke the connections everything looks good, but once I get it running, it runs great! any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

Go back to the basics, plugs, timing, fuel. Did you have a regular sequence for firing it up? How many pumps first etc ? Maybe try different combination, pumps, open or closed throttle. Maybe new coil? Its a crap shoot ..... billy g

Sounds to me that when you changed over to the electronic ignition the trouble stopped.I would go back to the ignition,just because it is new does not mean it can not go bad.That is why they do have a warranty !
