bit of a setback

Accidentally left my key on and totally drained the battery- did this one other time but this time I am paying........

Bike will not start and has no spark. I jumped the cylinoid and and it starts but it is getting no spark.

whatever I did killed my spark and my cylinoid. Looked for burnt wires and couldnt find any . Only can find one fuse (main fuse) and it is intact allbeit it gets kinda warm outside the fuse case holder.

I know that if you leave a bike on for an extended amount of time one coil will heat up as those points will be incontact. Coldnt have killed all three though- I just installed a new battery (sealed type) and this sux. Before I was just working on getting her running smooth ,now I am hunting for something electrical.

Sometimes when you leave the ignition on you can burn the points. Common on cars too. You may now need to replace the points and condensors.

FIXED IT! Traced wires to headlight bucket and wiggled the wires cranked right up- gonna clean things up a bit in there for sure.
