Just a quik follow up, after cleaning the carbs, rebuilding the petcock and installing new fuel lines, the bike is back on the raod and running great! I hate ethanol fuel!

The more I think about it, seems unlikely that all three would fail at same time, so it may be another issue? I'll be in touch if needing your services. Thanks! |

Very true, except it's possible that the rectifier unit is causing the problem. Also, one failed CDI unit can cause the other good ones to stop working. You can test for this by unplugging the light green wires from the three CDI units one at a time. If you unplug one and spark returns to the other two you know what's going on. The bench test will uncover this stuff too, of course. |

Embarrassed to say the bike has been sitting awhile [8 months?] and I now have a couple fuel related issues: the petcock is leaking and also the center carb. Working on these and should have the bike running by mid-week. Thanks guys... Still interested in buying an entire CDI unit at a reasonable price, I will need one down the road for a project H2 that I have. |
