The reason I ask the question is last year, the last time I started my twin it took me an hour to do so..finally fired. I believed the B-TH coil(s) were bad. Bought new ones with new plugs, wires, etc. still would not fire. Installed my Lucas which puts out good spark on #1 just turning the shaft by hand. Can't get #2 to fire by hand, but puts out fine with a very slow speed drill attached. The Lucas sparks on the bike, checked #1 by attaching the plug to my Britax crash bar with a Ty-Wrap..kicked it and could see good spark. I turned off the lights in the shop and saw immediate spark. Thus, I want to test the B-TH that I thought was bad before I take the carbs off to see if I'm plugged up. Hopefully the B-TH will spark and that should tell me I have a fuel problem. This is the worst scenario I've had with the machine in three decades, I've timed it many times previously and always got it to start.
