But did you hold the idle jets up to the light and look through them??
Very important. RECENTLY????

Just spraying carb cleaner in them is not good enough.

Lucky, I did have the pilot jet out, and could see light through it. Also could blow carb cleaner through the circuit.

Hellbilly, I'm not sure what my XL 80 is. However the coil would not work on the bobber. It Twinstar is a two cylinder that uses one coil with two leads.

I was thinking about this while setting up some gears today. Have you double checked the dwell? Shortened dwell times can cause poor coil saturation which can create very low ignition voltage. Not like you don't already know that.Just a thought.
