I will give these things a try. I wondered about the Avgas. It was in the low 40's here yesterday so this is good information to have.  Would an ignition coil with 1.7 reading have to weak of a spark? The manual shows a range of 3-5. This was the only component that didn't check out.

I am going to pick up some extra plugs today so I can swap them out.  I will re-check to make sure there are no air leaks. When I pulled the stator the other day, I noticed the crank seal was no longer seated so there was lots soot on the stator and cover. I believe this might be the reason why the bike was taken apart by the previous owner. I seated it back in, but will check to make sure it is still in place. I may have to order another seal.
