Motor cuts out

[Holysmoke]

Here's the cause for the lack of spark. Mice took home in the engine. I vacuumed it out. There was still stuff in the generator above the points. When I ran it with the front engine cover off, a small amount of this stuff worked it's way into the points creating extra circuit path, impacting spark. You could see addition arching activity around the points. Replaced the points and she's running the best I've seen so far

Yep, that'll do it!

I like rodent poison placed under the hood of a car or in some strategic place on a motorcycle.

I can't believe you didn't take the front cover off before now!

I've actually had it off for a week or so now. Having the cover off actually created this problem. Ca't wait to find the next hiding place for mice. So far it's been tool kit, exhaust pipe and front engine cover. It's amazing the bike runs at all!

That means the mice should be able to find the poison easily.
