Well I fixed my problem,,,,, it was a stupid spark plug wire, the wire was lose at the point where it connect to the cap... I cheked for spark at the spark plugs but it always looked good, the only way I found the loose wire is when I recheck the timing I decided put the timing gun on every wire just to see if the timing is good, and when I put it on number 3 the light would come one iregularly..... I'm so glad the bike runs right now,,,, Now I can't keep the front end on the ground every time I hit 5th gear :woohoo:

Good to hear.
You can get new solid core wire by the foot at most auto parts stores, 7mm, about .80 cents a foot. If they screw on at the coil as well, I'd replace the wires. Many have up graded from the old stock coils to Accel or Dyna. Much better than having those old coils for sure.
