Hello All, The bike is a 1991 FXR evolution, Delkron cases, SS carb and a few mild upgrades. Replaced my ignition with a Daytona 1005 single fire. After reading posts about this ignition figured it was a decent one. The reason I replaced it was because the coil on my last one which was a screaming eagle was no good, or so I thought. The instructions say to set it up at first, static with #1 cylinder, mark centered in the timing hole. then turn the module(inside the cone) clockwise until the red light just goes out. Well I attempted to turn clockwise and light still wouldn't go out even when it was as far as the travel would let it. So I attempted to start it while slowly moving the module plate small increments at a time. While doing this all I got was backfires out of the intake/carb. Also oil was spewing out of the breather. I did a compression test on both cylinders and both were at 120. I used a spark tester on the sparkplug wires and both are sparking while cranking. It's getting fuel and the battery is fully charged. With the oil spewing out the breather makes me think it has something to do with the cam chest, only because the bike was running 2 day's earlier, or should I say running on what seemed like 1 cylinder. Before opening up the cam chest I figured maybe someone can give me some input on what should be done next. I'm an Auto tech. by trade but the V-twin world I'm still learning about and not sure how to approach a no start condition. Sorry for the long post and hope someone can help. Thank you for your time.
