John, I guess what I don't understand is where the coil wiring is interupted by the re-wire. I see on the schematic where the bl/g wire is linked to the coils, but it looks like on your diagram that the bl/g wire is not changed. What am I missing?

Hi Kevin, Perhaps my wiring schematic isn't really as clear as it should be! The "B/G" wire shown is the one going to the fuel pump relay and is part of the standard wiring loom. The coils have been rewired via the new fuse panel shown with a more direct route from the battery. The standard wires to the coils have simply been unplugged from the coils, taped and stowed out of the way. This way the original circuit is undisturbed if you want to reconnect it for some reason at a later time. The advantage lies in the easing of the load on the 20+ year old wiring and giving the feed to the coils a more direct and shorter route thereby cutting down on resistance and maintaining a higher potential current flow. Regards, John

Hi Fire UP, I was having a similar problem with a cold start engine. I started using Lucas Fuel Treatment. A small amount every other fill up and a tank of High Test every so often. The problem subsided in about month of adding the Lucas. I've stuck with it and stretched it out to once a month, so far so good. I guess when you have 82,000 on a 1986 Aspencade you have to help it along. Good luck hope it works for you.  Carnutjoe

Hi John, i enjoyed reading your post, i've got a charging problem on my 1200 not long had the bike, it has been registerd over sea in its time and the indicators have been wired as running lights so on all the time, i think i will change that, its got other lights on as well so draining the battery. After reading your post gives me some hope on getting mine sorted so i can ride it again, also while its been standing the brakes are stuck on. Regards.
