@sean01- yes sir it is a points model motor. as for the coil that was purchased it was listed as being for k0-k2 models, my bike bein a k1 it should be a 6volt coil. i will have a looksie at the points to see if i can see a spark. or maybe ill need to buy a tune up kit or just go with a new...

Ahhh okie. Thanks! Now the CDI is the plug adaptor that attaches to the wires which come from the stator correct? It looks like that's the part but i want to make sure. I will have to take a closer loom at the connections and see if I can sand em down to clean the connection up.

Thanks fmx! I appreciate ur help. I'm still a bit new with the terms. What is cti?

ok tried the new spark plug/ sparkplug cap idea and still nothing!!! i had done the test by touching the plug to the motor and kicking it over but i got no spark. well i saw a small spark occasionally. nothing consistent or very strong looking. i have a brand new coil and it shocked the hell...

Ok! Yet another update! Haha. So me being pissed and determined to get the Lil guy running I wanted to check the coil to ensure that it had a good charge running through it. Now lemme start by saying, yes it's stupid of me! Now having been tasered before in police academy I knew being shocked...

ok! its officially cheaper to buy a new ignition switch with the keys than to have a key made. $60 to b exact. now im trying to figure out a way to just put a damn on off switch on it since im still getting no spark from the coil to plug. i have spark from stator when its touched to the muffler...

Thanks Moto i tried the cutting of the lead and placed a screw in it but still nothing. i ordered a new after market coil since it was not nearly as expensive as the others i have seen. it was about $30 and should work. im not too interested in keeping everything original at this point so this...

ok.... i connected the black wire from the stator straight to the coil and still no spark... i sanded the points... still no spark. i disconected the wire from the coil and touched it to the muffler then kicked the kickstarter and got a good spark. i reconnected the coil and placed the threads...

hi all, i seem to be having trouble adding pictures to my profile/ threads. is there a special technique? or are my pictures just too big? thanks all. -jon

Thank you all for the quick responses @ motodevo- the tank has the round badges. from what i understand is the year is determined by the vin# on the bike/ motor and from what i found is the model of bike is a '69-'70 z50. however, i could still be wrong about this. i contacted honda and...
