Hi all,
I have been restoring an old 76 Kawasaki kh100 for the past month and have got it running- after riding it around the block I found the engine was bogging, heavy black smoke coming out of it, trouble shifting, and it eventually died and hasn't started back up. I've been looking at the electrical side- all is good, I got a new ignition coil, I'm getting good resistance from the ignition coil- I tested the spark plug with a tester and I got shocked via the tester but no spark from the plug. Any ideas what it might be? I'm thinking it might be the points system, but I'm not sure- I figured since it ran once before it wouldn't be the points, but I could be wrong.
