hello all!
I bought an 86 steelie about a year ago, have ridden it 10 times maybe since owning it. I noticed this spring a bit of seepage from the head gasket dripping down the outside of the cylinder. It was always jetted wrong and I knew this, it wasnt horrible just not right. I replaced the head gasket this spring and I cannot get it to start. I am 285 lbs and I can stomp the kicker and get a good fast kick. Ive never had this problem with this bike it normally starts for me on the first or second good one i give it. I used the exact same head gasket with some copper spray, no leaks but no starts either! Its got spark though it may be weak, and its got a junk pj carb on it but it never gave me too much trouble before.
Where do i start?

is the clack the kicker hitting the peet peg? supposed to do that.
if no spark and you just replaced the head then recheck the wiring, sounds like something up with the coil?
If you are sure there is no spark, pull the plug out hang on to the piug wire, be sure to ground your self on the motor and have some one give it a good kick
