DifferentStrokes,

I tried viewing the spark at the plug but at the time was parked in my neighbor's driveway where it was very bright and sunny. Even with shading it the best we could, our 50-year-old eyes couldn't see the spark so we used the old-school method.

Since it was my bike I was the one that had to hold the nail. I had forgotten how pleasant an ignition shock was.

I've been in touch with Redline and have a quote for the crank. Tyga has the same thing for quite a bit less even with shipping.

Thanks for the advice though.
