:bang: sooo I have a 1986 Intruder that is firing on the front cylinder and is able to run on that front cylinder, and the rear cylinder is not .the spark plug will spark one time right when I hit the start button, but then there is zero spark. Even while running, it will throw 1 or 2 sparks but then be gone .
The bike has a new stator, new coils, and new plugs. I'm still confused. Please help. Any info would be appreciated

Welcome!
So I assume this is a VS750? Someone will be along soon that knows the 750.

In the mean time here are a couple of things to check out.

Do you have the pos and neg/ signal wires hooked up correctly
are your coils grounded correctly
Do you have the correct voltage to the coils

I had an intermittent spark problem, turned out to be a partially broken pulse cable at the transit plug in the alternator cover. I think it was Herb who had a similar problem but at the connector near the CDI.
