Vl executive 87 rb30
Hi all, I bought a 87 VL RB30na. Now the bloke I bought it off said It hadn’t ran in 6 years and needed a fuel pump, so I’ve brought it home stuck a battery off pulled then lines off and there’s more then enough fuel the pump is definitely working pulled a plug out and we have spark. However the dissy was actually lose. Now if you leave the reds on and twist the dissy you hear a Zappy sound and the fuel pump primes. Wiring fault?? Someone on here must be a genius please help. TIA

Is the fuel fresh? Dizzy loose....Is the firing order correct?

Spark jumping sounds like the zappy noise you describe.....Best way to find out where it is occurring is at night, spin the motor over and look for stray sparks to determine what is knackered there...
