i am not sure if i am getting spark on my cx500 1978



my mc will not start - bike only ran a couple times for last 2 years and has 14000 miles



i cannot get to start, not sure if it is an electrical prob or gas problem (yes i do have gas in the tank)



how difficult is it to clean carb?



how about the black cylinder that the spark plug cable come out of or the silver box that the wires go into, both under the seat?

where can i find the distributor cap and points on the cx500 1976



my mc will not start - i am not much of a mechanic, but neither do i have dollars to bring to a shop



i tried starting, not sure if it is an electrical prob or gas problem (yes i do have gas in the tank)

my error, it is a 1978 cx500 and it does not have a distribtor cap, i took plug out and turned over engine, no spark, but i did not place near the wye behind the carb

i will try that next

thanks



i ran it for one day in 2010 and mabe a couple in 2009, only 14,000 miles
