Flywheel was on when i did it, maybe it just wasnt touching when i ohmed it out. Heres a pic, its the red wire.

I think I found my problem. One of the stator wires was rubbing against the flywheel and has just about rubbed through the wire. I'll replace the wire tomorrow and see if that works

I have both, but resistor plugs are currently in the bike.

Each cap alone reads around 4,700 ohms, so I'm assuming they are resistor caps.

Well, swapped out my plug caps for brand new ones, and no change. Although with the new caps installed, my secondary reads over 15,000 ohms going from plug cap to plug cap. Is this normal? The manual says no more than 7,100, and my coil reads 6000 if i go straight from the wires with the caps removed.

Whats your bike?

Possibly, but after some further searching I read that the clymers was written wrong on how to test the secondary on the coil, instead of going plug cap to terminal, your supposed to go plug cap to plug cap. Using this method I ring out at 6000 ohms, which is right within spec. One of my plug caps is still testing bad though, so I'm going to pick up some new ones tomorrow and see if that helps.

Update: Checked my coil with a meter and I'm reading .5 for primary reading (terminal to terminal) and getting an open circuit for secondary (terminal to plug cap). Removed the plug caps and still getting an open circuit from the wire to the terminal. Is there any way to remove the wires from the coil so I can check to see if the wires are bad? I already trimmed about 1/4 inch off the ends and still getting the same result.

Lighting coil (yellow to black) was .7, Pickup coil (white/red to white/green) was 117, and charging coil (green to red) was 18.5 The only one out of spec was the lighting coil according to my clymers (should be between .26 and .38)

also I have not checked compression yet because i dont have a compression tester but I'll let you know when I get ahold of one.

The flywheel didnt just fall off. I had to pull it off with a flywheel puller. I was asking about the key usually falling out once the flywheel is pulled off, mine didnt, and is pretty well stuck in the crank.

Key looks good, but its stuck pretty good in the crank. dont they usually fall right out? and is there any way to tell if its an advance degree key vs stock? Maybe the previous owner threw one in and didnt tell me. Also the pick up gap is set to .018, everything is tight and timing is set at +0

Recleaned the carbs and added fresh fuel, and now the bike wont even try to start. I can kick it all day and not even a pop.

carbs are all clean, filters are clean. Fuel smells like its not bad but ill throw some fresh 91 in just in case.

So I just finished installing a chariot timing plate, adjusted it to +4, and started it up and let it idle. It was idling perfectly and revving fine. I was in the process of syncing my carbs with the carb tool, when it just stopped running. Now when I try and start it its only running on one side (left side/stator side) and will backfire. I dropped the timing plate back down to 0 but its not helping. I have spark on both plugs, and I triple checked everything on the stator. Plate is on correctly and set at +0, flywheel is on the key and everything seems nice and tight. Any ideas what could have happened?? The bike has been sitting for a few months and I've been getting it ready for an upcoming glamis trip.

lean or ran out of fuel? Whats your jetting

55. I got a bunch of stuff all shipped together.

If you wouldve posted this a day earlier, I wouldve been all over it. I just got one new Free bump!

Every pair of riding boots ive had were extremely uncomfortable until I rode with them for awhile. Once they break in though they aren't bad. I always wear my riding boots now, everything else feels weird to me

What was the compression at??

I think he meant "crank web"

If you wouldve followed rule #7 that appears at the top of the page every time your in the for sale section, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

They were pushed on as far as they would go. They were fairly old filters tho and the rubber seemed a little stiff though so maybe that contributed.
