guy that builds these sent me a repair job - bike showed up and was REAL hard to get it to start, took a long while to pump old fuel out of motor
motor was loose, chain was loose, rear wheel bearings were loose, carb was missing parts, so did a bunch o' work
later, rode it a while, then called customer
he shows up & no start ??!!??
hour and a half later found the mag coil with busted wire, but the bare end was making good contact most of the time, but not always (was perfect every time I put the meter on)
finally opened cover and poked it and saw it wasn't soldered, never saw or heard of this before, but wrapped end of wire with 1/2 inch of new, soldered that , then soldered loose end to armature (extra length gives it room to vibrate without pulling loose again so I always do them that way)
runs fine now and will see if still OK in AM
rough fix when you can't trust the meter reading
