Think I found the issue…. Water pump. Nothing from weep hole . Will keep an eye on it.

Timing is spot on. Fresh oil too. Might try seafoam

I will check that

Loud ticking from front. Here’s a video

I still have it. Selling it for $2000

Thank you julimike54 for clarifying. This is still a mystery as initially the bike had no spark and obviously fuel pump was not sucking fuel. I was hung up on a YouTube video showing the blue/ yellow coil wires unplugged and the guy had a test light on that wire that lit up upon cranking… mine...

Hallelujah!! Got the bike running and I have no idea what I did!! Still have to check to see if I have spark to all 4 but hey… at least she’s up and running. Thank you to everyone for all your insight on this one. I was ready to throw in the towel!

Yup… gone through 2 solenoids now. I have not tried new coils yet. I’m placing my test light to the wires that connect to the coils but have them disconnected from the coils while testing. Still no light on and off while cranking…. I like a challenge but I’m about to move on to something else!

Removed entire wiring harness. Have an extra … will install that one.

There’s a short somewhere. Can’t even reconnect battery terminals as it’s popping pretty badly! Will keep checking!

Installed new pulse generators and a new starter. Tried a different icu off of a running bike and still nothing in terms of no flashing on my test light on blue/ yellow wires going to coils when cranking bike. Very perplexing!

Where are the wires going to the coils coming from?? Pulse generators or cdi box or both??

Cranked bike and nothing from yellow/ blue wires. Black remains on.

Alrighty then. Thanks for the info. Will check

If I put a test light on the wires ( not spark plug wires) going to coils and crank the bike, should that light up and then go off?

Aaaaahh… the old hammer tap on starter trick brought old starter back to life for a while. Still need to change the pg and hopefully I will have spark after that!!

Extra 1200 engine installed … went to fire her up and no spark but cranked. Kept working on it and now nothing from starter. Love a challenge!! New starter on the way. Already have new pulse generator so will install that. Ignition is fine, starter switch is good. Coils are good! Clutch safety...

Mmmmmm… pulled carbs. 1 & 3 cylinder filled with coolant. I’m suspecting a bad head gasket. I have an extra engine so will transplant that :)

Came off a 1986 gl1200. Just put on brand new tires. Will fit all gl1200 models. Have all necessary hardware. These sell for $4000 but here I will sell discounted!

There was liquid in the exhaust on that side as well. The plug was very difficult to remove. I guess I can siphon the liquid out and do a compression test or simply run the engine and see what happens. All the plugs drain holes are stopped up with debris. Fingers crossed, hoping your theory...
