Sounds like you have your coil to point's wires crossed. This would make it 180* out of time, and sound just like you described.

Supposed to be, but I have seen them where they need to be yellow to blue, and vice versa.

Looks good. Just use some 2" X 1/8" flat bar stock, and bend it to make a seat bracket/gusset.

No not running, I am going to get some new spark plug boots and plugs. Rebuild the carbs and try again.

Not to worried I had it running befor I pulled the motor out of the parts bike last summer. Shouldn't have sold the coils.

Re: Just a 78 k

Did a little work on getting the tank set up. It is from a 79 Yamaha 1100. I think

 I had to change the mounting bracket. It was not even close to bolting it down. So I cut it all off. Then took some 1/8 thick flat stock tacked and welded it on. You need to have some thing to weld your mount to that will distribute the stress from the mount should the tank get hit or some thing. Welded the mount back on where I liked it.

Now for the mounting brackets on the bike. I used 1/2 cold rolled steel for my pins. Sat the tank up where it looked good and started measuring and cutting. Then poffNext for the mount at the back of the tank. I used 1/4 inch plate. Cut it to size drilled a hole and welded it on.

Fit everthing up and am pleased with it so far.

The bracket at the back of the tank will double for the set. I love the width of the tank it just fits the bike.

Re: Just a 78 k

Tank work today. I needed to close off the old petcoks and the fuel gauge. I had two petcok holes to close up. One on each side. With a little filler they should look fine. Now the fuel gauge sending unit hole.    I just have a little mig that I keep doing little spot welds over each other as to not blow a hole in the tank. This will be the under side of the tank so I don't think I will do much more to it. As always ( do not weld on a fuel tank unless you are sure there is no fuel in it and you have cleaned, rinsed it out with dish soap and it is well vented)
