Doc, they is one on the local craigslist here for $600 in non runner status. Been there for a month at least. I may have to make a low offer.

I also noticed the bike has a kick stand switch...maybe just a light on the dash though, people typically let bikes run while the stand is down. It may just have a light on the dash warning its down?
As for the emission device...its a tumor prevention device not actually a tumor itself. Whats the hippocratic oath, did you read it as a hypocrite oath? |

My *thinking* was, by offering you what you should see @ the CDI plug, you could determine what EXACTLY is faulty.
If you meet the requirements at the plug: CDI/coil are suspect (coil easy to check with ohm meter), eliminate the coil, you are left with a faulty CDI. If you don't meet the requirements @ the plug: you work with those specific wires to meet the requirements. It could be something as easy as a faulty key switch. To me (and I am a self confessed idiot), it is the only sensible way forward, other than "shotgunning" the entire wiring system. |

The part I don't get is that I DO have a spark, just a weak one...
I suppose it could be a carb issue but that would have been overcome with the starting fluid and/or putting fuel in the cylinder which I did already.

It wouldn't be the first time a kill switch sent a China Rider for a loop.
Reveeen's troubleshooting style is in the military tradition; start in the middle of the circuit and determine if the signal / power is good. If yes, move forward, if no, move backward. It's a very effective and economical method.

I meant to disconnect the kill wire from the CDI last night but did not have the time. Gideon The Cat had a vet appointment.
That cost me more than the Zong. 8O

Don't you have any spare surgical instruments at home? The microwave makes a great impromptu Autoclave, and you can take a shot of bourbon to calm your nerves.
Hold still kitty...

I have proven to myself over the years my skills at diagnosing people don't carry over to cats.
I thought he had a torn ACL and it turned out to be a sprain of some sort and he's getting better. IHe also needed his shots and a microchip. Turns out he's already fixed. Must have had a home at one point and been abandoned or run away.

The Hippocratic Oath: I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement: To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art. I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts. I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art. In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot. I never took it. I declined/refused. As a Christian I'd never swear by false gods, and even if I did being baseless such an oath would be meaningless.

My old dog just had a stroke (right side), and after 14 years it was time for "the happy hunting ground", kinda sad (ok, REAL sad), but anything else would have been selfish. |

I am also very sorry to hear about your dog. I believe that when we get Home we get our pets back. Over the years some of my best frineds have been animals so I understand.
