today I changed all four sparks wires thanks to helpful Mattson who managed to get them for me.
Funny expression on my face when I left the broken one to last and started taking it out from its socket and found only a wire in my hand. I knew it was bad but didnt know it was that bad.
Anyhow I changed them and went for a ride straight after and I am pleased!

I only changed my sparks but it feels like starting is easier now.

Ah nice deal Indy - great shape - can't wait to see your bike all done up again
Tonight I had to explore why my 87 was surging and stumbling -
Start her up ------ after 15 seconds cylinders 1,2,3 nice and hot - 4 cold !!!!!!!!
determined by feeling the temp of the downpipes
Pull it and it's wet ! test the spark it's weak check the coil feeds - clean 'em - push the
# 4 lead down hard in plug boot - better - fires gets hot again.
Reckon #1 coil feeding c1 & c4 is "iffy" coil wires too, rather than waste
anymore time with the 25 yr old coil set .....................................
Guess which bike is getting the new stick coils first ? !!!!!
EpicLife - hope you are reading this !

I tried doing that yesterday with no luck. I got her washed and took her for a ride to dry her off. I never got past that point, that short ride kept getting longer.
Will try to change coolant today with any luck.
Should also order updated R/R.
