i need help with an 82 yamaha 550

[lunchbox]

i got ahold of this bike for cheap i was told it needed to be cleaned and what not as it has been sitting however i started going over it and found the wires were getting no spark where to start ???

If it has been sitting for a while, I would check the wires to make sure no rodents chewed through any wires... then new spark plugs and check the coil... by the way, Welcome to

[AJ_YFZ]

You should prolly get them cleaned out before you start adjusting

Hi there... I know 3 websites that even have the microfiches

Change the sparkplug, clean the carb and check all the connectors for rust..
