I think I have worked this out, but it would be good to run past the superdream experts!
The 400n has an mostly nil spark on number one, on the basis it is a wasted spark system.
Switched over plugs and HT caps no change...still number 1 down.
I removed the coil so it would hang down and allow me to switch the HT leads over, the problem moved to the other cylinder.
I assume now it can only be the coil/HT lead which cant be replaced on the coil?
Thanks

I've a couplele of lame HT . leads on two coils, I have a couple of joining fittings, but have not tried them yet
If you have enough lead length left, try cutting the HT lead back by 5mm, and screw the plug cap back in...

I did wonder about joining new lead in tight to the coil but have ordered a cheap pattern coil for now. I will look at the old one if that sorts it and play with lead extensions. |

thats good to know, have one coming from another supplier but looks the same. By the time lead and joiners are bought thats more expensive to try and fix the original. I will take a look at it though just out of interest. I am getting stuck into recommissioning this bike now, it waited too long until other projects were complete.
About to do fork seals.

runs fine on both cylinders all the time now with a new coil.....it must have been the lead running out the coil on one side.
