Ok guys, heres the deal. I decided it was time for a new post as the original was get to long (GL1100 no compression). Got the new heads on set the timing but it still would not start. So, I took the carbs off and clean them, though they have not be run since the last topic, put them back on the wing and no start. It would back fire through the carbs and act like it want to start but would not. I pulled #1 spark plug, placed it back on the ignition wire and laid it on the valve cover. With the kill switch in the off position I turned the engine over and could see no spark at the end of the spark plug. I did the same with the #3 and #2 and still nothing. Could this be the ignition coil, and is there a post that will describe testing procedures for the coil? Thanks!
