The RS250 is almost ready for a track day - engine refreshed (thanks Chuck!), tires, etc - and I'm trying to start it up and put a few heat cycles into it. No luck so far, hoping some of the NESR gurus might be able to help....
Bike is a 93 RS250, I'm running the recommended fuel-oil mix and following the starting instructions in the manual. The fuel is a couple years old but had been stored in a sealed container and VP claims its good for several years. Turning the motor with a starter tool/nut and a cordless drill. Didn't hear any sort of partial combustion in either cylinder so I pulled both plugs, can't see spark in either. Looked at the connections from the Run/Off handlebar switch to each cylinder, nothing obviously wrong.
Before I start throwing parts at it - could both plugs be bad? They looked ugly - lots of carbon. The motor hasn't run in a couple years. The handlebar switch looks pretty rough (photo below) when I put a multimeter to it, what should I be looking for?
Info and advice greatly appreciated
