    ok i got the seca out changed oil added new gas installed charged battery turned on the choke and boom bang she fired right up and purred like a kitten...went for a 45 mile ride was so much better with the savage shocks and my new white face LED speedo is correct speed now, got home figured i would add the matching tach that i got about 3 months ago installed wired it up started her set perfect at 1000rpm shut her down finished up the LED wiring put it all together now......a no start condition checked all connections blah blah blah and i found i have no spark at all at both coils....WTF....so i have come to figure that if this is not an easy fix i'm selling her i'm done dealing with it

    I'd look at the last thing I did. Possible short when you connected the LEDs? I'm sure you looked but I would try back tracking from last thing you did.

    I'd take the TCI apart and have a look. You may have a loose joint, bad solder connection etc....
