Bought my bike brand new in 1984. Has had electrical problems over the years. New alt 2000, new stator & twin power reg 2007. New gas cap thinking air lock, nothing. Typically I'l get a few miles down the road, and it just dies. Feels like no gas elec, etc. Sometimes I sit for a few min and it fires back up. Last time it killed the battery, and 3 jumps later it finall started after about an hour.
Got it home and plugs were fouled big time. New plugs, few weeks later down the road about 2 mi, and dies again. For some reason it got me thinking about the headlight. I recall every time, if not almost every time, I had my headlight on. Run the bike without the light, and it seems fine.
Took apart the headlight, looked inside, checked connections, and all seemed dry and correct. Tried tracing a few wires, and saw nothing out of the ordinary. It ran perfect since 07 with the new parts, and now it's like starting all over again. Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul
