Okay guys, here's what's going on:
The clutch and decompressor seem to be fine. (If it were a clutch adjustment problem, the bike should still start.)
I put the bike into fifth gear and rotated the rear wheel. Not only did I never feel compression, the ammeter also did not move. I could also turn the rear wheel using the kickstart.
Trying the e-start sounds like when I'm not getting spark, so I checked that and sure enough, no spark at the plug.
Lastly, and most importantly, I removed the contact breaker cover and checked to make sure the contact breaker shaft is rotating when I try the e-start, and it is not! When I turn the kickstarter, the contact breaker shaft still does not rotate.
Recently I set my timing, and thought it was odd that I had to rotate the points plate as far clockwise as it would go to reach correct timing, whereas before the plate was rotated nearly entirely counter-clockwise.
The system seems to be fine from the gear box through to the back wheel, shifting properly.
Does that isolate it for you guys? Any thoughts? Greatly appreciated!
