    If your caps have resistors, this might be the perfect invitation to convert them to non-resistor and switch to resistor plugs.

    Excellent idea.

    The rocker arm was still pushing the valve open a little bit, allowing it to still function enough to make some compression.

    I think the plug caps are almost non-conductive - resistance off the scale! I'll be trying new caps & there is enough HT lead to chop...

    I hope that's all it is. The fact that this brand seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth has me worried about the other two...

    Last week when I went for the state inspection, I had just charged the Protek AGM YB12A-A battery. It was showing only about 9.5 Volts...

    This was mentioned earlier, but are you running resistor plugs or non-resistor plugs? The caps should be chosen accordingly, resistor...

    12.55 at rest is borderline and since it's 4 years old, it might be showing signs of aging out.

    The primary looks OK - the secondary is not ideal, and the caps should be 5K ohm so an open circuit there is really not great. try...

    Be cautious tightening those nuts, because overtightening them can cause the carb body to distort and make the slide movement sticky.

    #17 If needed, further disassembly: Unscrew the nut at the bottom of the shaft and the piston with valving shim comes right off. I have...

    I tried to test the resistance of the caps but couldn't get a reading - infinite resistance - I'm going to try some from another bike...
