plugs 3 & 4 not producing spark

Considering the good parts, eliminating the red wires, obvious will be the colored one. I have a feeling that all there is.

Well it took a while but I finally got it started! It was the pickup coils all along. I had a hell of a time trying to find one. I ended up cobbling a couple of broken ones together to get it going.

Still tons of stuff that needs to be done before I even begin to think about riding it, but considering the last time it was started was 1996, I'm feeling pretty good today.

Glad to hear you finally got it sorted out. Bravo !!

Well done, bet that was a hell of a buzz!

It was truely quite the buzz.

I started it about 10 times and let it run for a few seconds each time.. After some initial smoking it seemed to be coming out of that. I think it was because I used fogging oil on all the cylinders when I first started working on it. .Then I changed the oil and filter, and I let it run for a few minutes at idle. Finally I started it again and rapped it up a few times. It sounded GREAT!

I want to thank everyone who helped or just looked for that matter. It was all greatly appreciated.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP!
