While we're on the topic of thread, does anyone actually sew anymore?

I sew, I sew! I even sewed all my kids' cloth diapers myself!

Well, not all of them. I did buy a few. Tongue I've sewn them quilts and things, too.

I've been called a so-and-so. Does that count?

Anyone here familiar with points ignition? I've got one cylinder that doesn't like to spark every time but the coils are new.

Do you mean bad COIL wire? The Wires to the plugs are just as new as the coil. I ordered a new points and condenser set since the current ones are over 30 years old.

Could be the condenser since that is the electrical firing mechanism. The most important thing with points is the gap. The gap, if too open will miss the arc, if too closed will shunt the arc keeping the fire from transferring from the coil to the spark plug.

What motor is this for?

It's for a '76 KZ400 twin. One cylinder runs fabulous but the left is still intermittent. I've checked all my wire connections but everything looks good. Just can't figure it out. The new points kit should have the condenser unit so maybe that should fix the problem. My gap was set perfect but the left cylinder only sparks great when I remove the right plug wire from the plug. Huh

Could be a bad plug wire. There is the possibility that you got a bad one, or that a kink cracked one.
