Thank you Dan for the information. I will try checking all connections. I may just say a little prayer that the problem is in a connection. ( because I just checked the price of a coil ) Yikes !!! I would very much like to know how to check a coil when you come upon that information also. thanks again Fred

You may want to also check the connection at the coil itself. 2) I would also check the coils themselves for good output. There are seeral ways to do this, which can be found on the net. (I'm just digging my Nighthawk out from storage, manuals, notes, when I locate can offer more on this). Ques., When were the carbs last cleaned/adjusted?
