It's Karma. You bought a motorcycle, you KNEW that'd come back around on you eventually.

Alright, inside of starting a new thread I will just continue you this one going...

So, transmission is fine (we dumb).

However. I hardwired the bike (CDI) and when you spin it over with a drill at slow RPMs the spark is crazy nutso, once you start going much faster than probably a really slow idle, the spark just quits out.

Any ideas?
