So far I have been VERY happy with my C5 system on my '76 Wing.
Yesterday morning, the bike wouldn't start. It cranked and popped
a bit, but no start. I had to go to work, so I left it and took the truck.
This morning, just as an afterthought, I pulled the cover off of
the C5 housing on the back of the left cylinder bank and found
a little bit of gray dust in it. Not much, just a bit.
I tried to start it again. Nothing.
So I blew into the housing a couple of times and hit the switch
again. FIRED RIGHT UP! A speck of dust must have been
blocking the optical sensor!
Paul, have you ever seen this before?
(and how did the dust get in there since the housing
has a tight fitting gasket?)
Anyway, I'm a happy camper again!
VROOM! I'm outa here!
